How to Set a Timezone with the Timezone Equivalent List
In lunash, the sysconf timezone command allows you to change the current system timezone setting to a value appropriate to your locality and your situation. You may prefer to use only GMT, or you may wish to match your local timezone.
Note that the time zone code reported by sysconf timezone show is a localized abbreviation. For example, the following two commands set the time zone code to “EST” (during periods when daylight savings time is not in effect).
sysconf timezone set America/Kentucky/Louisville
sysconf timezone set Australia/Brisbane
For more information on time zone abbreviations, please visit: http://www.worldtimezone.com/
The time system accepts local settings as either an offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +3 hours, GMT -5 hours, etc.) or as city/state names.
If you choose a named timezone, the system attempts to implement the Daylight Saving Time regime – setting the system time forward one hour on the appropriate date, and back one hour to standard time on the date appropriate for your locality.
If you choose GMT plus-or-minus a numeric offset, then that value is fixed, and the system does not attempt to implement Daylight Saving Time. If you require an adjustment, then you must make it yourself, by manually issuing the appropriate time-change.
If a heading is subdivided, then click it to expand that portion of the list.
Use the heading plus the subdivision(s), separated by “/” characters.
If a heading has no subdivisions, use the heading alone as the timezone code.
For example, to set the timezone to Abidjan, the command would be:
sysconf timezone set Africa/Abidjan
To set the timezone to Hongkong, the command would be:
sysconf time zone set Hongkong
To set the timezone to Knox, Indiana, the command would be:
sysconf timezone set America/Indiana/Knox
