Removing the patches doesn't seems to work
Hi,
I was trying to do an experiment. I patched one of our server because to comply with the DST 2007 Changes.
Afterwards I removed the patches. I'm expecting that it will revert the changes but it didn't. I was thinking if i had to reboot the machine to see the changes. If it is, then why the effect occurs after I patch the server with no reboot at all?
Can someone shed a light on this?
Before:
#zdump -v `echo $TZ` | grep 2007
US/Central Tue Feb 6 14:36:11 2007 UTC = Tue Feb 6 08:36:11 2007 CST isdst=0
US/Central Sun Apr 1 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0
US/Central Sun Apr 1 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 03:00:00 2007 CDT isdst=1
US/Central Sun Oct 28 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:59:59 2007 CDT isdst=1
US/Central Sun Oct 28 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2007 CST isdst=0
After:
#zdump -v `echo $TZ` | grep 2007
US/Central Wed Feb 7 06:59:28 2007 UTC = Wed Feb 7 00:59:28 2007 CST isdst=0
US/Central Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0
US/Central Sun Mar 11 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 CDT isdst=1
US/Central Sun Nov 4 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 CDT isdst=1
US/Central Sun Nov 4 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 CST isdst=0

Thanks for time Darren.
Those files/timestamp was unchanged eventhough I removed the patches. Unfortunately it did not. Btw, the TZ im working with is from CST to DST.
