Subject: EPICS_TIMEZONE and TZ on RTEMS

Hello,

On EPICS 3.14.12.4 and RTEMS 4.10.2 I can't seem to control the timezone at runtime.
My BSP is the mvme2700.


EPICS base is build with base/configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV:EPICS_TIMEZONE=CUS::360:031302:110602

An oversight, but I was thinking it didn't matter and I could just change things in my startup script. I tried to re-define this in my startup script before iocInit() as follows:

#Hawaii is standard time and never moves their clocks
epicsEnvSet("EPICS_TIMEZONE", "HST::600:0:0")

Then I found the link below so I tried

epicsEnvSet("TZ", "HST10")

In both cases, my timezone persisted with Central US time, UTC-5 hours.

My latest AppDevGuide (Oct. 5th, 2015) does not describe it.  Is this documented anywhere else?

Thank you!
-Matt
