NAME

       timeconfig - simple interface for configuring system time parameters

SYNOPSIS

       timeconfig [--utc] [--arc] [--back] [--test] [timezone]

DESCRIPTION

       timeconfig  provides  a  simple method of configuring both /etc/syscon-
       fig/clock and /etc/localtime which is compatible with both the standard
       Red Hat startup scripts and timeconfig(8).

       If  a timezone is specified, the system timezone is change to the time-
       zone specified. Otherwise, a menu of available timezones is  displayed.
       If  --utc  is  given,  the  system  clock is assumed to be in universal
       (Greenwhich mean) time. If --arc is used, the system clock  is  assumed
       ot  be  stored  in the format used by the ARC platform on Digital Alpha
       platforms (the --arc option is only available on Alpha hardware).

       The timeconfig window contains a Cancel button by default. If --back is
       specified at run time, a Back button is presented instead.

       If  --test  is specified, timeconfig may be run as a non-root user, and
       no changes are written to the filesystem.

RETURN CODES

       timeconfig returns 0 on success, 2 on error, and 1  if  the  user  can-
       celled the program (by using either the Cancel or Back button).

FILES

       /etc/sysconfig/clock
                           Configures the format used by the hardware clock.

       /etc/localtime      File   containing   timezone   data,   copied  from
                           /usr/share/zoneinfo.
