Change timezone on Ubuntu server (CLI only)

Posted At : September 6, 2008 1:19 AM

It should be simple to do this and it is. The hardest part was finding the correct way to do it, so for future reference:

Using the command line, you can use dpkg-reconfigure tzdata.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Follow the instructions to reconfigure the timezone. This was taken from the ubuntu wiki article
