Using /usr/sbin/tzselect to find TZ ends with the following (questions have been deleted): | You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line | TZ='Europe/Monaco'; export TZ | to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again. | | Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you | can use the /usr/sbin/tzselect command in shell scripts: | Europe/Monaco So my question is whether one would really use CEST or the result of tzseelct. (Note: I kept the OP's example of Monaco - I am really in the U.S.) And if it is something like CEST, what does one do in the U.S., where some do not go on Daylight Savings (Summer) Time? - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
