NAME
       tzreload - notify timezone update

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/tzreload [-a]

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). By default, the tzreload notification is sent to  the  pro‐
       cesses within the current zone.

       In  addition  to	 notifying active processes, the tzreload command also
       notifies cron(1M), to reinitialize the job scheduler with the new time‐
       zone information.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -a

	   Notify processes in all zones.

FILES
       /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo

	   Standard zone information directory.

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.
