    Hello everybody,

    I have just receive some HP J6000 Bi-cpu systems (very beautiful systems) running HP-UX 11.00 .I'm a french resident and I would like to synchronize there station with my NTP server (Linux box). But I have actually a timezone problem. I would like to set the same timezone for PARIS in Linux (named CET), but this one doesn't exist in tztab of the HP-UX system. Only
    avalaible is Western Europe, but tztab informations don't concidere summer and winter time for France. That why I would like to create myself the entry for CET.
    Did anybody know the syntax for create an entry in tztab ?

    Many thanks.

    Here are the timezones you can choose in Unix,

    MEZ-1MESZ
    0 3 25-31 3 1983-2038 0 MESZ-2
    0 2 24-30 9 1983-1995 0 MEZ-1
    0 2 25-31 10 1996-2038 0 MEZ-1

    # Middle European Time, Middle European Time Daylight Savings Time
    MET-1METDST
    0 3 25-31 3 1983-2038 0 METDST-2
    0 2 24-30 9 1983-1995 0 MET-1
    0 2 25-31 10 1996-2038 0 MET-1

    The coded lines read as follows:- - - -

    Format : minutes, hour, days of month, month, range of years, actual day of the week where 0 is Sunday, then set time offset from Greenwich
    to this value. When Unix arrives at these rules, the offset factor is applied to Unix time which is ALWAYS GMT...or UTC.

    Example - 0 2 25-31 10 1996-2038 0 MET-1

    "When it is 2am(2) in October(10), between the days of 25-31, and the years are 1996-2038, and it is Sunday(0), then set time to MET-1, which is Mediterranium Time minus 1 hour from Greenwich.
