I think on most distros that use the Olson tz database, 'localtime' is defined by means of adding a symlink in the system timezone directory. It's going to refer to whatever zone was chosen as the system-wide default. That would match what the postmaster sees as the system timezone if you have not set TZ in its environment ... but it would also match what initdb sees as the system timezone. I'm still not sure what the OP actually wants to accomplish by moving the time of making the choice. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
