Yet another argument for GMT. I get why most folks wouldn't want to use it in their everyday lives, but for computer installations I could learn to love it.

Alternatively if you have a POSIX-conforming system you can use TZ='EET-2EEST,M4.3.5/0,M10.5.0/0' instead. More relevant to this list, when IBM ships a system outside the USA does it ship with /etc/profile configured for the POSIX time zone for the destination? What assistance does IBM supply? Most desktop and handheld systems come configured with the tzdata utility (see above). POSIX time zone definitions are effectively idiosyncratic, hardly required other than by IBM. Instances are hard to find and ugly. For example, for Tel Aviv: TZ=IST-2IDT,M3.4.4/26,M10.5.0 --- On Sun, 26 Mar 2023 14:26:37 -0500, Mike Schwab wrote: >https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-65079574 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
