Hello As this seems to be entwined with the Karaf wrapper component, should I bounce this query to the Karaf user list?

I added karaf.override.user.timezone=UTC to etc/system.properties and restarted ServiceMix but still got date in BST. This was using the wrapper to run ServiceMix as a service. When I start SM directly from the command line date is now in UTC. So I re-ran the wrapper setup feature from http://servicemix.apache.org/docs/5.x/users-guide/wrapper.html by removing the files wrapper created then doing karaf@root>wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n KARAF -d Karaf -D "Karaf Service" but when I start the ServiceMix service from $ service KARAF-service start the date is still in BST. It would appear that wrapper gets and overrides the timezone from somewhere else. Any thoughts?

James -----Original Message----- From: Gert Vanthienen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 September 2014 21:27 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Date format change L.S., The karaf.override. prefix is used to override the default system properties - in this case, you're overriding the default value of the user.timezone Java system property. You're right that it would be good if we would document this feature in the system.properties file or on the website - I raised https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-3208 to get this addressed for a future Karaf release.
