Solaris 11 - Changing systems default locale
Different in Solaris 10 in that you don't just edit TIMEZONE file. LANG is currently set to en_US.UTF-8 and want it to be C.

Heres what I did:-
Code:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/environment:init setprop environment/LANG = astring: C
# svcadm refresh svc:/system/environment

And afterwards these are the results I got:-
Code:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/environment:init listprop environment/LANG
environment/LANG astring     C

Code:
# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

?????

Code:
# cat /etc/TIMEZONE

CMASK=022
TZ=localtime
LANG=C

So its updated file....

Why on earth is echo $LANG still reporting wrong locale? Surely I dont need to reboot server?

NAME

       svc.configd - Service Management Facility repository daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/svc/bin/svc.configd

       svc.configd  is  the repository daemon for the Service Management Facility. svc.configd is invoked automatically during system startup, and
       restarted if any failures occur. svc.configd should never be invoked directly.

       Interaction with svc.configd is by way of libscf(3LIB) and the command line tools:svcs(1), svcprop(1), svcadm(1M), and svccfg(1M).

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
