usage: tz [tz_name | utc_delta [new_tz] ]
DESCRIPTION
tz sets the system time zone to a known time zone or to an offset from
Coordinate Universal Time (utc).
To set the actual time registered by the nodes's internal clock, use the
calendar command. If no arguments are specified, tz displays the current
setting.

Default if omitted: use utc_delta argument
utc_delta (optional)
Specify positive or negative offset from utc. The plus
sign is optional for positive offsets. Format for offset
is hh:mm (for example, -10:00 for ten hours earlier than,
west of, Coordinated Universal Time). Only whole or half
hour offsets may be specified. Other fractional offsets
produce an error message.
Default if omitted: use tz_name argument
new_tz (optional)
Specify new time zone name to be assigned to the zone
indicated by the 'utc_delta' argument. Use this argument
to create time zones that are not included in the list
