Timezone Setting

UNIX AIX
1

Hi

On several AIX 5.3 LPARs the timezone is currrently set to:
TZ=NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0/02:00,M4.1.0/03:00

Daylight savings in NZ starts on Sun 28th Sep 2008, which is the fourth Sunday. Do I need to change my TZ variable to NZST-12NZDT,M9.4.0/02:00,M4.1.0/03:00 or will AIX interpret the fifth Sunday (my current timezone setting) as the last of the month and change on the 28th?

Thanks

Exactly this is the meaning of the "fifth" weekday: the last in a month. Maybe this will provide some additional information, but you seem to have figured it out pretty well already.

I hope this helps.
