Summary: New Daylight Saving Time (DST) and Solaris 8



Thanks to all who responded.

The unanimous answer is that a reboot is required to implement the new
DST.

Also, Darren added these comments:
If you do not reboot, only new processes will see the new timezone
files. Any process that was launched before the patches will have the
old data in memory. So, if you have something like Oracle, you'd need
to restart it, and in some cases that's just about as hard as rebooting.


Original questiion:

Can support for the new DST be implemented without a reboot, as
directed in patch 109809-04?
