Suppose that you want to set or change linux local timezone to UTC:

cp /etc/sysconfig/clock /etc/sysconfig/clock.bak

echo -e "ZONE=\"UTC\"\nUTC=true\nARC=false" > /etc/sysconfig/clock

mv /etc/localtime{,.bak}

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime

echo 'export TZ=UTC' >> /etc/profile

Now run "date" to confirm it's UTC:

[root@andy-doxer ~]# date

Mon Aug 20 07:10:17 UTC 2018
