CentOS / Linux: Change Timezone
1. Go to the time zone directory
cd /usr/share/zoneinfo
2. Find the timezone you want (in my case I prefer to run everything in UTC)
3. Copy the timezone you want to the localtime zone for the server. In this case, we’re going to switch the server to use UTC:
cp UTC /etc/localtime
4. Type “y” to overwrite the current timezone.
5. The imezone should be changed automatically. Check the time by running:
date
