Jack Allen -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Jack.Allen@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 4:25 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Time zone files Hello: Is there command that will show the information in a zone info file such as when daylight saving time starts and ends and what offset before and after? I have tried zdump, but it did not give me the information I wanted. I am running RH AS 4.4.
