    NAME
           tzreload	- notify timezone update
    
    SYNOPSIS
           /usr/sbin/tzreload
    
    
    DESCRIPTION
           The  tzreload  command  notifies	 active	 (running) processes to	reread
           timezone	information.  The  timezone  information  is  cached  in  each
           process,	 absent	a tzreload command, is never reread until a process is
           restarted. In response to a tzreload command, active  processes	reread
           the  current  timezone  information  at	the next call to ctime(3C) and
           mktime(3C). The tzreload	notification is	sent to	processes  within  the
           current zone.
    
    
           tzreload	 causes	 processes  which  are	using  the system timezone (in
           /etc/default/init) to reread the	contents of that file.
    
    
           In addition to notifying	active processes, the  tzreload	 command  also
           notifies	cron(1M), to reinitialize the job scheduler with the new time-
           zone information.

    NOTES
           Although	  tzreload   reinitializes  cron(1M),  applications  that  are
           affected	by timezone changes still need to be restarted	or  reinitial-
           ized if they do not reread the new timezone information before timezone
           changes take place.
    
    
           The timezone update service is managed by the service management	facil-
           ity, smf(5), under the service identifier:
    
    	 svc:/system/timezone:default
    
    
    
    
           Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
           requesting refresh, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).	The  service's
           status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
    
    
           Refreshing  this	service	causes the tzreload command to be run, notify-
           ing running processes to	reload their timezone caches.  Disabling  this
           service is not recommended.
