1 TZRELOAD(1M) Maintenance Commands TZRELOAD(1M) 2 3 NAME 4 tzreload - notify timezone update 5 6 SYNOPSIS 7 tzreload [-a] 8 9 DESCRIPTION 10 The tzreload command triggers processes to reread timezone information. 11 The timezone information is cached in each process. In response to a 12 tzreload command, this cache is updated on the next call to ctime(3C) and 13 mktime(3C) by each process. By default, tzreload only triggers this 14 update for the current zone. 15 16 In addition to updating processes, the tzreload command also notifies 17 cron(1M) to reinitialize the job scheduler with the new timezone 18 information. 19 20 OPTIONS 21 The following options are supported: 22 23 -a Update processes in all zones. 24 25 FILES 26 /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo 27 Standard zone information directory. 28 29 INTERFACE STABILITY 30 Committed 31 32 SEE ALSO 33 cron(1M), zdump(1M), zic(1M), zoneadm(1M), ctime(3C), mktime(3C), 34 attributes(5) 35 36 NOTES 37 Although tzreload reinitializes cron(1M), applications that are affected 38 by timezone changes still need to be restarted or reinitialized if they 39 do not reread the new timezone information before timezone changes take 40 place. 41 42 illumos February 27, 2020 illumos
