If you are running under a unix-like operating system, 2!:5'TZ' should work.

If you are running under windows, on an older version of J, I think
2!:0'tzutil /g' would work.

In more recent versions of J, something has gone wrong with 2!:0 so
instead you would use

require'task'
shell'tzutil /g'

Note that all of these approaches provide a textual result.

I hope this helps,
