How can I set the default timezone in node.js?

by

According to this google group thread, you can set the TZ environment variable before calling any date functions. Just tested it and it works.

> process.env.TZ = 'Europe/Amsterdam' 
'Europe/Amsterdam'
> d = new Date()
Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:50:39 GMT
> d.toLocaleTimeString()
'06:50:39'
> ""+d
'Sat Mar 24 2012 06:50:39 GMT+0100 (CET)'

You can’t change the timezone later though, since by then Node has already read the environment variable.
