Sven,

UTC-2, I believe means, "2 hours earlier than UTC".  For example:

   $ TZ=UTC-2 date; TZ=UTC date ; TZ=UTC+2 date
   Sat Jun 24 01:12:39 UTC 2006
   Fri Jun 23 23:12:39 UTC 2006
   Fri Jun 23 21:12:39 UTC 2006

Clearly UTC-2 is "earlier" or "gets sunrise first".

Hi,

But why I have to set it to UTC-2, I am from Germany so timezone is CEST UTC+2 
during summer
and UTC+1 during winter.

The Linux System time is correct at CEST time. Seems to be Zenoss is not able to handle the Daylight saving.

Thanks Sven

I forgot to mention the TZ setting should go in the $ZENHOME/bin/zopectl script.

You could change it for your whole machine using whatever mechanism your OS provides. On fedora, you can use system-config-date.

Alternatively you can set it for Zope:

Add

    export TZ=UTC-2

Before the "exec" line.

Sven,

Ugh!  This is so frustrating!

Python isn't interpreting your timezone correctly. Europe/Berlin should set the time.timezone value to -7200. I don't know why it doesn't.

Here is a case of DateTime getting it right. But DateTime gets Australia/Brisbane confused, and time.timezone gets it right.

    $ TZ=Europe/Berlin python -c 'import time; print time.timezone'
    -3600
    $ TZ=GMT-2 python -c 'import time; print time.timezone'
    -7200

For now, try setting your timezeone to GMT-2.

Hi,

My Events are all 1 hour earlier.

So I tried this
Python 2.3.5 (#1, May 24 2006, 18:46:23) [GCC 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)] on
linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import time
time.timezone
-3600
from DateTime import DateTime
DateTime()
DateTime('2006/06/16 16:06:05.142 GMT+2')
import os
os.environ['TZ']='Europe/Berlin'
time.tzse()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'tzse'
time.tzset()
time.timezone
-3600
DateTime()
DateTime('2006/06/16 16:07:50.290 GMT+2')

Seems to work.
I put TZ=Europe/Berlin to .bashrc and restarted zenoss, but time is 1 hour off.

Thanks Sven
