So my question is how can I change Legato system time zone by my code. If the modem goes to another country, time zone should be updeated automatically. Like my mobile phone does when I travel to different countries. Any instructions please? ---

Did +cclk value change correctly when you move to another country? ---

Also you can have a look here > **[Set Linux System Date & Time on mangOH Yellow](https://forum.mangoh.io/t/set-linux-system-date-time-on-mangoh-yellow/2965/2)** > > You can set it from the host as follows: ssh root@192.168.2.2 "date -s ‘$(date +%F)’ " ssh root@192.168.2.2 "date -s ‘$(date +%T)’ " Inconveniently date and cm rtc use different formats so it’s not simple to set one from the other. ---

Yes, we checked this earlier, but we could not find “localtime” or “timezone” files in etc. Where are their located in Legato? ---

How about setting timezone by date command How about using command “tzoneset”? How about the following? > **[settz - Legato Docs](https://docs.legato.io/latest/toolsHost_settz.html)** > > legato™ is an open source Linux-based embedded platform designed to simplify connected IoT application development ---

Yes, settz works with host. But we need to do it by our code. Is there “timezone”-file available in legato? ---

We can set the timezone by host machine, but as I understand it is not possible to do it by code. Anyway we will manage with this, Thanks.
