Setting timezone Sunos 5.8 & adjusting
I am new to this so i figure this is an easy one.. How do i change the time zone from Central to Eastern time in SunOS 5.8 ? I thought I needed to edit the /etc/TIMEZONE and them issue TZ=US/Eastern but I want to check. Is a reboot required afterwards?
If I want to change the system time should i just issue the date -a - sss.fff to slow it up??
Thank you

My question is: How would you modify the following code so it would compile and run on Linux?... (3 Replies)

Hello All
I’ve made the decision to switch my storage server from FreeNAS to Solaris. I opted to use FreeNAS as it has ZFS and until BTRFS is stable, it’s the best option (IMHO) for backup and network storage.
The switch was facilitated by the USB stick that FreeNAS was on got lost during a... (1 Reply)
