Full Discussion: DST on Solaris 2.6/7

DST on Solaris 2.6/7

I have several servers that are outside the country and are running Solaris 6 mainly with a few Solaris 7 boxes here and there. Because of that, we need to schedule time to change the time on March 11th and again in April, October and November. At least until the customer decides it's time to upgrade. But about half the servers are outside the US borders.

Do these servers (GMT, SGT, and JST) need to be changed? Do servers outside the country but in a US like timezone get changed? We have a few servers in St. Thomas which are using the EST time zone. Are they following the US DST, no DST or are they following the old DST Smilie

Basically I can see from a logical standpoint that the ones outside the US entirely don't need to be changed. But the ones in St. Thomas (EST) are a big question. The systems are production with lots of bucks depending on them. I'd like to have a nice definitive source somewhere Smilie

Thanks.

Carl

geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region - Returns the time zone for some country and region code combo

SYNOPSIS
string geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region (string $country_code, [string $region_code]) DESCRIPTION
The geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region(3) function will return the time zone corresponding to a country and region code combo. In the United States, the region code corresponds to the two-letter abbreviation of each state. In Canada, the region code corresponds to the two-letter province or territory code as attributed by Canada Post. For the rest of the world, GeoIP uses FIPS 10-4 codes to represent regions. You can check http://www.maxmind.com/app/fips10_4 for a detailed list of FIPS 10-4 codes. This function is always available if using GeoIP Library version 1.4.1 or newer. The data is taken directly from the GeoIP Library and not from any database. PARAMETERS
o $country_code - The two-letter country code (see geoip_country_code_by_name(3)) o $region_code - The two-letter (or digit) region code (see geoip_region_by_name(3)) RETURN VALUES
Returns the time zone on success, or FALSE if the country and region code combo cannot be found. EXAMPLES
Example #1 A geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region(3) example using region code for US/Canada This will print the time zone for country CA (Canada), region QC (Quebec). <?php $timezone = geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region('CA', 'QC'); if ($timezone) { echo 'Time zone for CA/QC is: ' . $timezone; } ?> The above example will output: Time zone for CA/QC is: America/Montreal Example #2 A geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region(3) example using FIPS codes This will print the time zone for country JP (Japan), region 01 (Aichi). <?php $timezone = geoip_time_zone_by_country_and_region('JP', '01'); if ($timezone) { echo 'Time zone for JP/01 is: ' . $timezone; } ?> The above example will output: Time zone for JP/01 is: Asia/Tokyo PHP Documentation Group GEOIP_TIME_ZONE_BY_COUNTRY_AND_REGION(3)
