Changing the Time Zone in RHEL 7

To list all available time zones, type the following at a shell prompt:

~]# timedatectl list-timezones

To change the currently used time zone, type as root:

~]# timedatectl set-timezone time_zone

Replace time_zone with any of the values listed by the timedatectl list-timezones command.

Example Changing the Time Zone

To identify which time zone is closest to your present location, use the timedatectl command with the list-timezones command line option. For example, to list all available time zones in Europe, type:

~]# timedatectl list-timezones | grep Europe

Europe/Amsterdam

Europe/Andorra

Europe/Athens

Europe/Belgrade

Europe/Berlin

Europe/Bratislava

…

To change the time zone to Europe/Prague, type as root:

~]# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Prague
