TIMECONFIG (8)
simple interface for configuring system time parameters
SYNOPSIS
timeconfig [--utc] [--arc] [--back] [--test] [timezone]
DESCRIPTION
timeconfig provides a simple method of configuring both
/etc/sysconfig/clock and /etc/localtime which is
compatible with both the standard Red Hat startup scripts and
timeconfig(8).
If a timezone is specified, the system timezone is change to the
timezone specified. Otherwise, a menu of available timezones is
displayed. If --utc is given, the system clock is assumed to be in
universal (Greenwhich mean) time. If --arc is used, the system clock is
assumed ot be stored in the format used by the ARC platform on Digital
Alpha platforms (the --arc option is only available on Alpha hardware).
The timeconfig window contains a Cancel button by default. If
--back is specified at run time, a Back button is presented
instead.
If --test is specified, timeconfig may be run as a non-root
user, and no changes are written to the filesystem.
RETURN CODES
timeconfig returns 0 on success, 2 on error, and 1 if the user cancelled
the program (by using either the Cancel or Back button).
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/clock
Configures the format used by the hardware clock.
/etc/localtime
File containing timezone data, copied from /usr/share/zoneinfo.
