Changing the Linux System Timezone：A Step-by-Step Guide
As a Linux user, one of the most important tasks is changing the system timezone. Timestamps in the system are generally based on the local timezone and it’s important to make sure it is set to the correct timezone. In this article, I’ll provide a step-by-step guide for changing your Linux system timezone.
The first step to changing the Linux system timezone is to locate the configuration file. On most Linux systems, you can find the configuration file in the /etc/sysconfig/clock file. You’ll need to edit this file and add the correct timezone.
To edit the file, you can use any text editor like nano, vim or emacs. Once you open the file, you’ll need to change the contents of the file. Here is an example of what the file should look like:
ZONE="America/New_York"
UTC=false
ARC=false
Once you’ve edited the configuration file, you need to create a new timezone file. To do this, move to /usr/share/zoneinfo and create a new file. For example, if you’re changing the timezone to “America/New_York”, you would create a file called America/New_York.
Next, you need to set the timezone for your system. To do this, use the command “sudo timedatectl set-timezone “. For example, if you are setting the timezone to “America/New_York”, you would use the following command:
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
Finally, you need to restart the system so the new timezone will take effect. To restart your system, use the command “sudo reboot”. After restarting the system, it should be set to the correct timezone.
In this article, I’ve provided a step-by-step guide for changing your Linux system timezone. By following the steps outlined in this article, you should be able to change the Linux system timezone without any issues. Remember to always back up your system files before making any changes.
