timezone = ( 3-character timezone )
The timezone variable is a character string which defines your local timezone. 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 editfiles.
The value of the timezone can be accessed by variable substitution
in the usual way:
shellcommands:
"echo ${timezone} | mail ${sysadm}"
