CSE 190 Sp 2000 -- Lecture 5 -- April 18, 2000


We took time out to talk about the TZ environment variable. (By convention all envariables are all-caps.)

On Solaris machines, the path to the timezone data files is /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo.

I mentioned time synchronization. This is done using WWV, GPS, etc. See the commands ntpq, ntpdate. On ieng9, these commands are installed in /software/common/ntp/bin/.
