ASUS EA-N66/EA-N66R - does anyone know how to set time/date?

[Almighty1]

Anyone have any ideas how I can set the timezone from the shell on this one as there isn't the standard timezone files for linking.

How about:

# TZ="GMT"
export TZ
# date
Sun Jun 25 20:18:42 UTC 2017

# TZ="GMT0DST"
# date
Sun Jun 25 21:20:49 DST 2017

Interesting. I thought they would basically just use the main codebase and then modify it for the minority devices such as this one.

Depends...

I've been on projects where we have the main trunk of code - a new product, we'd branch it out, and then merge back non-product specific changes.... crazy enough that tracking back thru the code, the initial drop was 1994, and the final product/build on that trunk was in 2012...

such is the life of software

That being said - there are branches that never get pulled back into the trunk, and live on their own until the product goes end of life/support...

# TZ="GMT"

# TZ="GMT0DST"
# date
Sun Jun 25 21:20:49 DST 2017

Thanks, that worked...

# TZ="PST8PDT"
# export TZ
