Configuring Summer Time
Use the Summer Time page to set the system clock forward during the summer
months (also known as daylight savings time).
Command Usage
In some countries or regions, clocks are adjusted through the summer months so
that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. This is known as
Summer Time, or Daylight Savings Time (DST). Typically, clocks are adjusted
forward one hour at the start of spring and then adjusted backward in autumn.
