TIMECONFIG(8)
NAME
timeconfig - simple interface for configuring system time
parameters
SYNOPSIS
timeconfig [--utc] [--arc] [--back] [timezone]
DESCRIPTION
timeconfig provides a simple method of configuring both
/etc/sysconfig/clock and /etc/localtime which is compati-
ble 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 pre-
sented instead.
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

hardware clock.

zone.
