NAME

calendarserver_manage_timezones — Calendar Server timezone database management utility

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

calendarserver_manage_timezones This utility will create, update, or list an XML timezone database summary XML file, or refresh timezone data from IANA, or refresh timezone data from another timezone server.

It can also be used to update the server's own zoneinfo database from IANA.

It should be run as a user with the same privileges as the Calendar Server itself, as it needs to read and write data that belongs to the server. If using the --refreshpkg option it will need to write to the actual python package data so will need to be run as root.

Actions to perform are specified via the options below. Only one action is allowed.
