Finding the TZ string
The TZ string is usually in the form of Continent/City - for example, if you live in Germany, TZ is Europe/Berlin. Debian has a command tzselect
A list can be found in this PHP docs page.
sh, bash
Run this command:
export TZ=Your/Timezone
If you want to make the setting permanent, add this line to your startup script (usually .bashrc in your homedir).
zsh, csh
setenv TZ Your/Timezone
irssi
- This fix is only temporary, and the timezone will be reset once you quit irssi.
/script exec $ENV{"TZ"} = "Your/Timezone";
Then press Ctrl-L or enter /redraw to update the statusbar clock.
