Please help me,
How to modify default date and time zones for CentOS server?


Thanks

Hello
This command will help you out


Type the following commands as root:

cp /etc/localtime /root/old.timezone
rm /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime

To show the current timezone in the file /etc/timezone, use the command:

cat /etc/timezone

To change this to the U.S. Los Angeles time, we need to modify the /etc/timezone file.

First step: edit the /etc/timezone file via vim or nano.

Vi editor:

vi /etc/timezone

Nano editor:

nano /etc/timezone

Second step: modify the file as shown below:

America/Los_Angeles

set the timezone from the terminal using the TZ variable.

export TZ=America/Los_Angeles
