The concept is to reduce time to setup/update each service during maintenance windows and make sure the software going to deploy is fully compile with the PirateGamerz Policy.

  • Logged in as root, check which timezone your machine is currently using by executing `date`. You’ll see something like Mon 17 Jan 2005 12:15:08 PM PST, PST in this case is the current timezone.
  • Change to the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo here you will find a list of time zone regions. Choose the most appropriate region, if you live in Canada or the US this directory is the “America” directory.
  • If you wish, backup the previous timezone configuration by copying it to a different location. Such as mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-old
  • Create a symbolic link to the appropriate timezone from /etc/localtime. Example: ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /etc/localtime
  • If you have the utility rdate, update the current system time by executing . /usr/bin/rdate -s time-a.nist.gov
  • Set the ZONE entry in the file /etc/sysconfig/clock file (e.g. “America/Los_Angeles”)
  • Set the hardware clock by executing: /sbin/hwclock –systoh

Power outage again while I’m working on my project :(

This is the third power outage this week, luckily the previous two outage just affect one of the phase (My house runs on 3 phase power) and no damage done to my desktop.

Guess I need to pay PC Depot a visit tomorrow for a UPS to keep my desktop up during power outage to save my tasks.

Updates
Power restored at 3.13am, gotta recover some of my work and sleep!
