QNX4 - editing sysinit for time zone change  
I have a QNX4 computer and want to change daylight saving time  rules in sysinit file.  I can edit the file but every 
time I reboot  sysinit file  is replaced with the backup ones. How can I Make my changes to sysinit file permanent. OS 
is on DiskOnChip. 

Any help would be appreciated.

RE: QNX4 - editing sysinit for time zone change  
Are you editing the sysinit.$NODE file, where '$NODE' is your machine's
node number? The sysinit file doesn't get replaced at boot time.

Re: RE: QNX4 - editing sysinit for time zone change  
Thanks for the help. I checked the name of the file. There is no node number in the sysinit file name.  I also attached 
the sysinit file if it helps.

RE: RE: QNX4 - editing sysinit for time zone change  
Startrunning is not within the systinit file, so it won't inherit the
exported time zone. Is this what you problem is?

Re: RE: RE: QNX4 - editing sysinit for time zone change  
The sysinit file I attached is  already working. It has the old daylight time saving rule. I want to change it to new 
one and make sure change is there when I reboot the computer. There is two directories called /sys1 and /sys2. Everytime
 I make changes sysinit file in /sys1, it is replaced one from /sys2.

RE: RE: RE: QNX4 - editing sysinit for time zone change  
The QNX4 boot doesn't overwrite anything. The sinit program searches for
a /etc/config/sysinit.$NODE file and if it doesn't find one, it looks
for /etc/config/sysinit. I have no idea what you boot process is doing,
but it must be something that you are doing that is causing the file to
be overwritten.
