Guidelines

The daylight-start-month command specifies the month of the year when daylight saving time starts.

This command is meaningful for custom time zones where daylight saving time rules apply.

When you define when daylight saving time starts, you must also define the time and date with the daylight-start-hours, daylight-start-minutes, daylight-start-day, and daylight-start-week commands.

Example

Set the second Sunday in March at 2:30 AM as the start of daylight saving time.
# daylight-start-month March
# daylight-start-week 2
# daylight-start-day Sunday
# daylight-start-hours 2
# daylight-start- minutes 30
