Change the Time Zone NowMake sure to identify the exact time zone which needs to be set in Region/City format.To view all available time zones, use the timedatectl command or list the files in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory:# timedatectl list-timezonesAmerica/MontserratAmerica/NassauAmerica/New_YorkAmerica/NipigonAmerica/NomeAmerica/NoronhaRun Commandsudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_Yorkor doing in UTC thensudo timedatectl set-timezone UTCTo verify the change, invoke the timedatectl command again:timedatectl Local time: Mon 2020-07-06 14:28:53 UTC Universal time: Mon 2020-07-06 14:28:53 UTC RTC time: Mon 2020-07-06 14:28:53 Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000) NTP enabled: noNTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: yes DST active: n/a--------------------------------------------------------------------------We can also change Time Zone by Creating a Symlink(Especially used in old system)If you are running an older Linux distribution and the timedatectl utility is not present on your system, you can change the timezone by symlinking /etc/localtime to the time zone in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.Remove the current symlink or file:sudo rm -rf /etc/localtime or sudo unlink /etc/localtime Identify the timezone you want to configure and create a symlink:sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtimeVerify the /etc/localtime file ls -l /etc/localtimelrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Jul 6 2020 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC
