TZRELOAD(8) Maintenance Procedures TZRELOAD(8)

NAME


tzreload - notify timezone update

SYNOPSIS


tzreload [-a]

DESCRIPTION


The tzreload command triggers processes to reread timezone information.
The timezone information is cached in each process. In response to a
tzreload command, this cache is updated on the next call to ctime(3C) and
mktime(3C) by each process. By default, tzreload only triggers this update
for the current zone.

In addition to updating processes, the tzreload command also notifies
cron(8) to reinitialize the job scheduler with the new timezone
information.

OPTIONS


The following options are supported:

-a Update processes in all zones.

FILES


/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo
Standard zone information directory.

INTERFACE STABILITY


Committed

SEE ALSO


ctime(3C), mktime(3C), attributes(7), cron(8), zdump(8), zic(8), zoneadm(8)

NOTES


Although tzreload reinitializes cron(8), applications that are affected by
timezone changes still need to be restarted or reinitialized if they do not
reread the new timezone information before timezone changes take place.
