Description

The system timezone can be updated automatically from the machine's public IP location. This is useful for laptops, travel systems, or images that need a reasonable timezone without manual selection.

The command changes system time configuration and contacts an online geolocation service. IP-based location can be wrong, so verify the result before relying on scheduled jobs or logs.
