Facter / FACT-857 Add tzdata name fact Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Eric Sorenson Created: 2015/03/12 5:17 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Ben S The current timezone fact simply returns a timezone with no location information. A new fact, say timezone_name, which gets the current name from /etc/zoneinfo would be much more useful. eg. timezone_name => America/New_York Add Comment

Re: Add tzdata name fact

One motivation for a new timezone fact (with a different name) is the current fact is ambiguous (e.g. CST) see FACT-1501.
