hello,
is thr any method to change the timezone name with out affecting the actual time of the system...
i.e date on linux system would give this..
Thu Feb 14 22:35:51 PST 2008
is there any method by which can i change PST to IST through a system call without changing the time i.e with this change it should show the time
Thu Feb 14 22:35:51 IST 2008...

regards shivakumar

Isn't tzset() the equivalent of 'env TZ=IST executeSomeCommand'?
