Turning DST (daylight save time) off

Hi Rafik,

 

 

Tunis shouldn't be using DST by default. If you check the zoneinfo for this timezone, DST (isdst) is set to 0 for the future:

 

 

zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Tunis | tail -3

 

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Tunis Sun Oct 26 01:00:00 2008 UTC = Sun Oct 26 02:00:00 2008 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600

 

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Tunis Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 04:14:07 2038 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600

 

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Tunis Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 04:14:07 2038 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600

 

 

If you want to set the timezone to UTC (which doesn't use DST either), you can check SOL8551:

Hi Aaron,

 

 

The output of date commande is Fri Apr 29 17:57:56 CEST 2011

 

 

timezone is set to /Africa/Tunis.

 

 

As checked this file /Africa/Tunis, I found CET-1,CEST...

 

 

I wanted to modify (by copying for example the content of /CET time or /Africa/Algiers) this file but it was impossible even with root rights,

 

 

So it seems that I must set time zone to UTC.

 

 

thanks
