Synopsis: TZ implementation: changes in TZ don't make effect on running process State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: phk State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 18 13:07:02 PST 2000 State-Changed-Why: Environment variables like TZ cannot be changed for a running process unless it does it on its own, so tzsetup will by definition not have any effect on processes which derive their timezone from the environment. Processes which derive their timezone from the system wide default in /etc/localtime could do a stat(2) on that file to discover if the timezone changed. The case for a general need to spend performance on this scenario is not proven. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23323 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
