5478.0. "ultrix timezone entry in kernel config. file" by MUNICH::CUZUM () Thu Jun 05 1997 05:42

Hi, ultrix-wizards,

a customer asked me what timezone-entry he needs for Hong-Kong in an
Ultrix kernel-configuration-file. Hongkongi-time is (I think) GMT + 9 hours,
so, since the timezones West of GMT have to be preceeded by a minus (I
read somewhere) the entry should be something like: "-9 dst x"
What does "x" stand for? I couldn't find a definition anywhere. Our
systems (MET) have the entry "-1 dst 4", whatever 4 may represent. Can
you point me to a detailed description or tell me what the second number
represents.

Regards,

Corina

    Oh, sorry, there is a little confusion in what I wrote above:
    
    Hong-Kong ist East of Greenwich and should have the timezone-setting
    9 dst x.
    
    I found out that x is some regional code for dst. e.g. x=1 for
    automatically dst-changing in usa, x=4 for dst in MET-Zone a.s.o.
    Does anyone know what's the value of x for Hong Kong?
    
    Regards,
