I tried changing the system timezone from +8 to +9 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/mangoh/original/2X/3/3cd40afe7868264cf8e551bf88262bff74c428c5.png) The settings are fine before rebooting But after rebooting the time zone setting is back to +8, how can I keep this setting? the same question as below: > [@How to ensure correct timezone?](https://mangoh.discourse.group/t/how-to-ensure-correct-timezone/2768): > > Hi I’m using a wp7702 and I’m aware it does not have an RTC for some reason. My time is mostly correct but sometimes it’s like a day out for example right now its reading “Thu Jul 11 21:13:43 2019” but my time zone in New Zealand it is Fri Jul 12 9:16:xx 2019 is there a way to fix the timezone for this as the time is pretty important for what I am trying to achieve. Its even more annoying that it won’t stay in a constant timezone. Thank you ---

how do you change the system timezone from +8 to +9? You can modify the init script to update the system timezone ---

> [@jyijyi](#): > > init script Can you tell me which one “init script” to use to make the change? ---

you can see here for the startlegato.sh: > **[Adding scripts to run at startup](https://forum.legato.io/t/adding-scripts-to-run-at-startup/2412/6)** > > Hi JyiJyi, I appreciate your previous reply to my post, but I attempted to make the changes that you recommended and am still unable to launch the script on boot. I have included a screenshot of several simple shell commands that I entered into... Another option is to build a unsandboxed app to run a script to change the timezone when power on: > **[Invoking shell scripts from Legato app](https://forum.legato.io/t/invoking-shell-scripts-from-legato-app/5575/4)** > > I don’t see problem on WP76 FW R13.

Thanks, I got it! so it means that I need to update the time zone every time I boot up the system, right? ---

this can be a good workaround
