If you want to change the timezone on your linux server then just run the below commands from shell as a root user:
root@server[#] date
Wed jan 11 20:30:29 EST 2010
In this example we are changing the timezone from EST to GMT.
root@server[#] ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
root@server[#] date
Thu jan 12 01:31:36 GMT 2010
That’s all you are done.
