Hello Team,

How can we have CST timezone that does not account for DST ?

Using the POSIX string, we can create a timezone called CST that is GMT+6 as follows:

[root at hp-dl120gen9-01 ~]# TZ=:CST6 date
Thu Jul  9 06:50:29 CST 2015

But this is not consitent if tzdata package is update.

Also this does take into account DST change?

Thanks,
Nilesh P.
