How to find out zone information for given country on Linux or Unix
The zone information for a given country in a Linux or Unix system can be found using the "tzselect" command.
Here's how to use it:
- Open a terminal window.
- Run the following command:
tzselect- Follow the prompts to select the country, and then select the appropriate city or time zone for that country.
- After making your selections, the tool will display the corresponding time zone string, which you can use to set your system's time zone. For example:
America/New_York- You can then set your system's time zone by exporting the time zone string to the "TZ" environment variable, like this:
export TZ='America/New_York'- You can also set the time zone permanently by updating the appropriate configuration file, such as "/etc/localtime", to match the time zone string.
