The TZ variable in /etc/profile does not affect anything other than
"interactive" logons. That is, the "shell" will "source" /etc/profile if
and only if it thinks that the shell is going to be used by a person.
IIRC, /etc/init.options will only affect things started via the /etc/rc
script file.
Having said that, a normal STC does not use the shell anyway. What I
have done in the FTPD started task is set the TZ environment variable
via the PARM= parameter, thusly:
PARM='ENVAR("TZ=CST6CDT")'
add ENVAR("TZ=CST0CDT0") to the already existing parms, before any / in
the PARM= being passed to the main routine.
Another possibility is to set the ENVAR via your LE customization
USERMOD. If you do this, then every LE enabled program will pick up the
TZ.
