<snip> I want to be sure to get the TIMEZONE updated next month when Daylight Saving Time starts in the USA. I presume cycling SMTP is necessary and appropriate, but can't find any specific info. </snip>
IF the TZ variable is set properly, the recycle should not be necessary. The DATE/Time service will automatically adjust for DSD. The TZ variable should Look something like EST5EDT (or whatever is appropriate for your timezone. IIRC the EST stands for "east of Greenwich the 5 is the offset and EDT indicates US daylight savings time. The TZ value is usually set in /etc/profile with code something like: TZ=EST5EDT; export TZ HTH, P.S. I expect maintenance for this function somtime in the near future to handle the changes from last year's energy bill. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
