Drive-by comment: the file you want to watch is /etc/localtime. That's what glibc reads to get the default timezone in preference to the $TZ environment variable - http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html. /etc/timezone is just a Debian thing to keep the name of the timezone. I'm not sure what uses that file. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
