You have to change the timezone, which is stored in the variable TZ.

export TZ=IST[....]

Alas, i do not know of a predefined timezone called "IST", so you will have to contruct your own and call that "IST".

I hope this helps.

What OS (type/version of unix or AIX) are you using?

Code:
export TZ=ISTIMDT-5:30

Would be for the time in Mumbai.

If you want this to be system-wide (for all users) you will have to change something depending on your OS, probably put the TZ statement above into /etc/TIMEZONE

Sorry to interrupt you, Jim, but this is the AIX forum and in AIX the version/release is - for this problem - irrelevant. The procedure hasn't changed since at least version 3.2.5 (which was back in the early nineties).

In AIX you have to put it into /etc/environment or use SMITty, which does that for you.

You might want to read this post for an explanation of how to contruct your timezone variable.

my bad, but the recent versions of AIX are supposedly POSIXly-compliant, and that construction of a TZ variable is POSIX.
