Automatically set timezone when nework becomes available

[gi1242]

Thanks for this script. I just set it up so it automatically sets the timezone when the network becomes available. If you find it useful and want to distribute some version of it with your script, here's what I did:

Create /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/update-timezone.sh with

#! /bin/bash
# Automatically set time zone when connected to the network

iface=$1
action=$2

#logger "tzupdate $iface $action"

if [[ $iface == wlan0 && $action == up ]]; then
    tz=$(tzupdate -s 1 -p 2>/dev/null)
    if [[ -n $tz && -r /usr/share/zoneinfo/$tz ]]; then
	timedatectl set-timezone $tz
    fi
fi

(Change $iface == wlan0 to $iface != lo if desired, and don't forget to make the script executable.)

This only works for systems that use NetworkManager.
