Syntax Description

Defaults
The Island ships with the time zone set to "America/Chicago". If no time zone is set, the system will use UTC.
Usage Guidelines
This command sets the time zone used by the Island for displaying and interpreting times in logs, events, and other scheduled tasks. A time zone identifier can be entered directly or by selecting a time zone from a list of country-specific zones.
If <string> is specified, it must contain a valid time zone identifier from the IANA Time Zone Database. A more convenient list of time zone identifiers can be found in Wikipedia's List of tz database time zones.
Time zone identifiers are case-sensitive.
Alternately, the user may specify a 2-letter country code (e.g., "fr"). If the country has a single time zone, the time zone will be set to it. If the country has more than one time zone, the user will be presented with a numbered list of time zones for that country. The command can then be issued again with both the country code and the number of the desired time zone from the list.
