<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br>Newbie on allstar,no linux expert.Trying to follow these recommended commands for adjusting the time in my node.<br><h1 class="title" id="ecxpage-title">
Adjusting the Time Zone </h1>
<div class="ecxtabs">
</div>
<div class="ecxfield ecxfield-name-body ecxfield-type-text-with-summary ecxfield-label-hidden"><div class="ecxfield-items"><div class="ecxfield-item ecxeven">By
default ACID is configured for the US Pacific time zone. The file
/etc/localtime controls which time zone the system thinks it is in. All
of the time zone files the rest of the world are located in
/usr/share/zoneinfo. To change the time zone, find the time zone file
you want to use, and make a soft link to it like this:<br>
<pre>cd /etc
cp localtime localtime.orig
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Victoria localtime
<br>You can check to see that the time zone is now correct by using the <code>date</code> command from the shell.</pre>
</div></div></div><br>Can someone give me a hint on how to do this? All help will be appreciated.Thanks<br><br>Alberto, node 41355 73s<br><br>KP4AP<br><br></div></div> </div></div> </div></body>
