Summary: TZ for the console processes..

I have done that with our /etc/profile and it works just fine -- for all the
users who login in run level 2.  But, we have a crontab line that echoes out
the date every 20 minutes to the system console and it always comes out in EDT.
I'm assuming that TZ getting set is fine for all users who subsequently login
and read the /etc/profile, but how do i get the processes spawned before init 2
to have the correct TZ?
