Hello Team,

How can we have CST timezone that does not account for DST ?

Using the POSIX string, we can create a timezone called CST that is GMT+6 as follows:

That's GMT-6. GMT+6 is the time in e.g. Kazakhstan, and is not AFAIK called CST anywhere it is used.

[root@hp-dl120gen9-01 ~]# TZ=:CST6 date Thu Jul 9 06:50:29 CST 2015

You shouldn't use the : if you are using a POSIX string. Just TZ=CST6 should work on any POSIX system.

But this is not consitent if tzdata package is update.

Why not?

Also this does take into account DST change?

It shouldn't. Anyway, if this is for Saskatchewan what's wrong with America/Regina? What do you need this for?
