change localtime on Centos

Firstly you’ll need to know your timezone and/or country, a list can be found in /usr/share/zoneinfo/

The more generic procedure to change the timezone is to create a symlink to file /etc/localtime

# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo /etc/localtime

OR you can copy and replace the current localtime setting

# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo /etc/localtime

To verify that your timezone is changed use the date command:

# date
