There are two places you need to set the TZ.  The first one is in the CI with a
simple SETVAR TZ,"CST6CDT"   (central time here.)

The other is in the profile for the shell.  You can find this file at
/etc/profile.  Open it with VI and change the line which starts with "EXPORT
TZ=" to match your proper specification.  In my case that is EXPORT
TZ="CST6CDT".  Now, when you enter the shell, it will be set automatically and
will display properly.


Kind regards,

In our case, the TZ variable is set properly on all systems.  Our shell date
displays as GMT time, but it's in proper relationship to PDT.

Try ":showvar tz" to find out what your timezone setting is. If you set the
correct tz variable, then your two clocks should synch up.
