perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Hi Jim;

I am CCing performance-node-users since this topic is related to the pS 
Performance Toolkit, if you would like to sign pup for that list you can 
do so here:

https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/subscribe/performance-node-users

Timezone configuration can be accomplished in one of two ways.  The 
first method is to use a command line tool:

  sudo tzselect

This is normally done on a per user basis (e.g. there will be 
instructions at the end of this script for exporting the information so 
it remains persistent in the users .profile file, but the global 
/etc/profile file could be edited as well).  The other method 
(recommended by RedHat: http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/timezone.html) 
is to edit:

  /etc/sysconfig/clock

And set the timezone manually.  You can use the value recommended 
through the above tool, or consult the values in  /usr/share/zoneinfo/*.

I have added this to to the installation instructions 
(http://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/wiki/pSPerformanceToolkit32#Timezone_Configuration). 
 Thanks;
