System Administration Commands                       tzreload(1M)



NAME
     tzreload - notify timezone update

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/tzreload [-a]


DESCRIPTION
     The tzreload command notifies active (running) processes  to
     reread  timezone  information.  The  timezone information is
     cached in each process, absent a tzreload command, is  never
     reread  until  a  process  is  restarted.  In  response to a
     tzreload  command,  active  processes  reread  the   current
     timezone  information  at  the  next  call  to ctime(3C) and
     mktime(3C). By default, the tzreload notification is sent to
     the processes within the current zone.


     In addition to notifying active processes, the tzreload com-
     mand   also  notifies  cron(1M),  to  reinitialize  the  job
     scheduler with the new timezone information.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -a

         Notify processes in all zones.


FILES
     /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo

         Standard zone information directory.

NOTES
     Although tzreload reinitializes cron(1M), 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.
