Must have thought that there is a better class of person here  <G>!

(I also noticed the cross-posting, and simply deleted the message.  I
was surprised to see in one of the responses that you had to reboot
Solaris after you had changed the time-zone.)
Existing processes aren't going to re-initialize their locale() setup
just because TZ or the /etc/localtime symlink has changed, so a reboot
is the most direct approach to moving a machine's timezone.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Solaris in particular, and one
could restart individual services or use a "kill -HUP" or similar
method on those processes which can re-init themselves without being
restarted.

Interesting - it's a problem which Windows doesn't have.

Thanks for the explanation.

David
