Set environment variable globally

[Gérard BIGOT]

Hi,

I added this line in /etc/environment since a long time :

TZ="Europe/Paris"

It gives me satisfaction.

With this line, upon reboot, I have :

~$ echo $TZ
Europe/Paris

Without TZ doesn't exist.

G.
PS: You don't have to live in Paris for this to work, I guess.
It should work with whatever lines in 'timedatectl list-timezones'
