System logging shows different timezones

Hi,

I have correct timezone set in the system, for example, if I type "~# date", it gives me my localtime which is in the timezone of GMT +11.

but If run "'logger test123", I can see the log entry:

root: test123

has time stamp in the GMT 0 zone. in fact, the following programs all show time stamps in GMT 0

  • hostapd
  • uhttpd
  • collectd
  • root
  • dropbear

and these programs show time in GMT +11 which is what I expected:

  • kernel
  • dnsmasq-dhcp

How do I correct this problem?

What is the output of the following commands? Use preformatted text (the </> button) for console output.
uci export system; ls -la /etc/TZ; tz=$(ls -la /etc/TZ | grep -o '[^ ]*$') ; ls -la $tz

Install package zoneinfo-pacific
Select timezone to match the Kosrae and make sure that the link of /tmp/TZ points to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Kosrae
