- First remove the currently set timezone:
- rm -rf /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null; unlink /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
- Then, decide what timezone you want:
- find /usr/share/zoneinfo/ | more
Once you know the filename representing your timezone, use ln as follows. In this example, I will set the VPS to EST, my favorite timezone.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST /etc/localtime
The Time itself is set on our server and sync'd each 30 minutes to time.nist.gov
