.Sh NAME
.Nm tzreload
.Nd notify timezone update
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm Op Fl a
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command triggers processes to reread timezone information.
The timezone information is cached in each process.
In response to a
.Nm
command, this cache is updated on the next call to
.Xr ctime 3C
and
.Xr mktime 3C
by each process.
By default,
.Nm
only triggers this update for the current zone.
.Pp
In addition to updating processes, the
.Nm
command also notifies
.Xr cron 8
to reinitialize the job scheduler with the new timezone information.
.Sh OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl a
Update processes in all zones.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Pa /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo
Standard zone information directory.

.Xr attributes 7 ,

.Xr zdump 8 ,
.Xr zic 8 ,
.Xr zoneadm 8
.Sh NOTES
Although
.Nm
reinitializes
.Xr cron 8 ,
applications that are affected by timezone changes still need to be restarted or
reinitialized if they do not reread the new timezone information before timezone
changes take place.
