Help Index :: Misc :: Time SYNTAX time -z This command sets your time zone in the real world, so that the %T field in your prompt string will be correct. This setting also affects what time is displayed for notes and mail, and commands like "whois" and "last". The zone name is case sensitive. "America/Denver" will work, but "america/denver" will not. Although there are only 24 hours on our mother Earth, there are millions of lawyers and politicians; so we have literally hundreds of distinct time zones.
