Syntax: SET TIMEZONE {UTC-offset | time-zone | DEFAULT}
Sets the time zone to use for displaying times (such as a nickname or channel's last used time), instead of using the time zone Services is operating in; the DEFAULT setting can be used to return to Services' time zone. The time zone can be specified in one of two ways:
- As a UTC offset, the time difference between your local time and UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, also known as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time). The offset is given as a "+" or "-" to indicate ahead of (east) or behind (west) UTC, followed by either a whole number of hours or a string in the form "hh:mm".
- As a time zone name, such as "GMT" or "EDT". Not all time zone names are supported by Services, and some countries' time zones have the same names, so if you get an error or the time displayed by Services is wrong, use a UTC offset instead.
Note that Services will not automatically adjust for daylight savings time (summer time); you will have to adjust the time zone manually.
Examples:
SET TIMEZONE -5
Set the time zone to 5 hours behind UTC.
SET TIMEZONE +3:30
Set the time zone to 3 hours, 30 minutes ahead of UTC.
SET TIMEZONE JST
Set the time zone to Japan Standard Time (UTC+9:00).
