Description Direct Docs Feedback 2023-07-12 14:04:00 UTC

Here we see 'timezone --nontp' is deprecated.

However, later in section B.3.15, the '--nontp' switch is shown as a valid option for 'timezone,' which contradicts the deprecation warning.

Thank you for investing your time in reporting this and improvising RHEL documentation. After having discussion with the internal team members, I have added a deprecation notice to the option description that is deprecated. Here is the link to the updated docs:

No more updates are pending on this issue hence closing it for now. In case any more details are required, feel free to reopen this or create a new issue.

thanks again and regards,
