System Time, Timezone and Date Parameters

The "Time/Timezone" tab at the top of the Setup Tool screen will display

the window shown below which is used for setting your system time and

date. In the "Time:" box, you may type the current time using the

24-hour clock. In the "Day:" box, you may type the current day of the

month. Pull down the "Month:" menu to select the current month. In the

"Year:" box, you may type the year.

Time Zone

Click the "Geographical Location" button at the top of the window to

select your location, if it is not "U.S." Use the scroll bar to show your

city/time zone, then click on it. Click "Save" to use these selections and

close this window.

This step creates a symbolic link from /etc/localtime to

/usr/share/zoneinfo/<timezone>.

Selecting the "Set time on Save" option causes setparms to set and save

the system clock and the hardware clock with the time and date speciﬁed

in the "Time" and date ﬁelds. If you do not select that option, they will

remain set to their current value.
