System Administration Commands					tzreload(1M)

NAME
     tzreload - notify timezone update

SYNOPSIS

    /usr/sbin/tzreload [-a]

DESCRIPTION
    tzrealod command notifies active (running) processes to re-read
    the timezone information. The timezone information is cache'd
    in each process, and it is never be re-read until process is
    restarted. By issuing tzreload command, active processes will
    voluntary re-read the current timezone information at the next
    call to ctime(3C) and mktime(3C). The notification will be sent
    to the processes within the current zone by default.

    tzreload command also notifies cron(1M) to re-initialize
    the scheduler with the new timezone information.

OPTIONS
    The following options are supported:

    -a		Notifies processes in all zones.

    /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo	Standard zone information directory

NOTES
    Although tzreload command re-initialize cron(1M), other
    applications which are affected by timezone changes still need
    to be restarted or re-initialized if there are no chances to
    re-read the new timezone information before timezone changes
    take place.
