Hi Casper,

Is it required to run rtc when I edit /etc/TIMEZONE file and change TZ variable ?

Is it required to reboot the machine once timezone changes are done ?

I see Linux machines do need reboot when timezone is changed.

Hi Guys,

I have one x86 system installed with Solaris 10 Update 6. When I do TimeZone change , I have to run ntpdate command to synchronize the time of the system. I do following steps. My current time zone is in "Asia/Calcutta"

1. Edit /etc/TIMEZONE and Change  TZ variable to "America/Los_Angeles".
2. Run the following command.
      rtc -z  America/Los_Angeles
      rtc -c

Don't do this.  Let the rtc alone.

I suggest:

        rtc -z GMT
        rtc -c

reboot.

run ntpdate ntpservername

AND THEN NEVER TOUCH rtc, ever.

Is it required to use ntpdate everytime when I change timezone of the system.

Only if you touch rtc and you really shouldn't.
