You can set the time zone by setting environment variable TZ to a file path relative to /usr/share/zoneinfo, e.g., export TZ=America/New_York I'm less clear on how it determines the time zone when TZ is not set. My guess is that TZ=posixrules is the default. Corrections are encouraged. --Ken Nellis
