I need to know whether Daylight Savings Time is enabled on my server. I
simply cannot figure out where this setting is. If anyone knows where
this setting is please let me know.
Check "/etc/sysconfig/clock".
[/etc/sysconfig]$ cat clock
ZONE="America/New_York"
UTC=true
ARC=false
It manages Daylight Savings Time correctly, but how do you tell from this?
Linux isn't interested in any time zone, the system uses UTC
internally, iirc it actually just counts the seconds since 01
January 1970.
It's just what is displayed to users, according to this setting.
You might want to run 'tzselect', one purpose is that remote
users from another time zone are able to set TZ from their shell
startup and time will be as if it would be local to them.
