clock timezone


clock timezone [<zone word> [<zone word> [<zone word>] [<zone word>]]]

Sets the system time zone. The time zone may be specified in one of three ways:

  • A nearby city whose time zone rules to follow. The system has a large list of cities which can be displayed by the help and completion system. They are organized hierarchically because there are too many of them to display in a flat list. A given city may be required to be specified in two, three, or four words, depending on the city.

  • An offset from UTC. This will be in the form UTC-offset UTC, UTC-offset UTC+<0-14>, UTC-offset UTC-<1-12>.

  • UTC (Universal Time, which is almost identical to GMT), and this is the default time zone

The no form of the command resets time zone to its default (GMT).

Syntax Description

zone word

The possible forms this could take include: continent, city, continent, country, city, continent, region, country, city, ocean, and/or island.

Default

GMT
