Submitted as is, meaning it worked for ### me but all bets are off (eg: don't call me, I'll call you - right!) ### Items below starting with a dash (-) are the actual commands ### that I used, modify to suit your server/locations/whatever... Linux Updates for new CDT (Daylight Savings) times 1. Make sure you have the tzdata2007c.tar.gz file (these are the updates) ftp://ftp.ecsis.net/pub/sco/tzdata2007c.tar.gz For those that are interested, these came from Elsie, one of the "government" timezone labs. 2. Copy the tzdata file to a temp directory (/tmp is fine) _on_ the server you want to update..... then get to that server (ssh, telnet) and su to root. 3. Change directory to /usr/share/ - cd /usr/share Make directory zoneinfo.new - mkdir zoneinfo.new Change to zoneinfo.new - cd zoneinfo.new Untar the tzdata file here (to /usr/share/zoneinfo.new) - tar -xvzf /tmp/tzdata2007c.tar.gz 4. Run zic to compile the new zone files for North America - zic -d zoneinfo northamerica 5. Change to directory zoneinfo/America and copy the Appropriate City file to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/<YOUR_TIMEZONE) - cd zoneinfo/America - cp Chicago /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central (for Central timezone adjust for yours) 6. Test to see if the update worked. - zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 If this command shows March 11 and Nov 4 for the dates, all is well. Otherwise, check /etc/localtime and see either what it is linked to (possibly /usr/share/zoneinfo/America or some such) and copy the correct /usr/share/zoneinfo.new/zoneinfo/<CITY_NAME> file to that location (meaning whatever the link is). 7. If you want to update the other North America files, then: from directory /usr/share/zoneinfo.new/zoneinfo: - cd /usr/share/zoneinfo.new/zoneinfo - mv /usr/share/zoneinfo/America /usr/share/zoneinfo/America.org - cp -r America /usr/share/zoneinfo (will save the current directory and contents to America.org and copy the entire new America directory to the correct zoneinfo location). _______________________________________________ Cobaltfacts site list [email protected] http://list.cobaltfacts.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/cobaltfacts
