The timezone variable is a list of character strings which define your local
timezone. Normally you will only need a single timezone, but sometimes
there are several aliases for a given timezone e.g. MET and CET are synonymous.
Currently only the first three characters of this string are
checked against the timezone which cfengine manages to glean from the
system. If a mismatch is detected a warning message is printed.
cfengine does not attempt to configure the timezone. This feature works
only as a reminder, since the timezone should really be set once and for
all at the time the system is installed. On some systems you can set
the timezone by editing a file, a procedure which you can automate with
cfengine See section 3.15 editfiles.
The value of the timezone can be accessed by variable substitution
in the usual way. It expands to the first item in your list.
shellcommands:
"echo ${timezone} | mail ${sysadm}"
