Notepad:Change Timezone

Change Timezone from: Change the Timezone in Linux

• Logged in as root, check which timezone your machine is currently using by executing `clock`. You'll see something like "Mon 17 Jan 2005 12:15:08 PM PST -0.461203 seconds", PST in this case is the current timezone.
• Change to the directory to /usr/share/zoneinfo, here you will find a list of time zone regions. Change to the most appropriate region, if you live in Canada or the US this directory is the "Americas" directory.
• If you wish, backup the previous timezone configuration by copying it to a different location. Such as `cp /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-old`.
• Create a symbolic link from the appropiate timezone to /etc/localtime. Example: `ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /etc/localtime`.
• If you have the utility rdate, update the current system time by executing `/usr/bin/rdate -s time.nist.gov`.
• Set the hardware clock by executing: ` /sbin/hwclock --systohc`
