NAME
calendarserver_manage_timezones - Calendar Server timezone database management utility

SYNOPSIS
calendarserver_manage_timezones [-f file] [-h] [-x file] [-z directory] [--tzvers tzdb-version] [--url url] [--refresh] [--refreshpkg] [--create] [--update] [--list] [--changed date] [--cache]

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.

OPTIONS

-h  Displays usage information

-f FILE
    Use the Calendar Server configuration specified in the given file. Defaults to /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist.

-x FILE
    Update the timezone database XML file at the specified location. Defaults to timezones.xml in the zoneinfo directory.

-z DIRECTORY
    Path to a zoneinfo directory where timezone data is stored. Defaults to the configuration file's Data/zoneinfo directory.

--tzvers version
    Name of IANA timezone data version to use (e.g., '2013a').

ACTIONS
