About time zones

The time zone for SavaJe OS is defined by the system property user.timezone (the default is America/New_York ). If you are an Antarctic researcher, you can change your time zone by entering the following command in an Lsh window:

prop user.timezone=Antarctica/McMurdo

This changes the global system property user.timezone (not the local property for the current lsh ). The next lsh or application you start should reflect the new time zone setting.

For other valid time zone IDs, see the Java API docmentation for java.util.TimeZone and java.util.SimpleTimeZone . The following simple program lists the valid IDs:

import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class Timezones {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TimeZone tz = new SimpleTimeZone(0, "");
        String[] ids = tz.getAvailableIDs();
        for (int i = 0; i < ids.length; i++)
            System.out.println(ids[i]);
    }
}
