  • To change the timezone, use the following command syntax:

    system modify --timezone=<one_specific_timezone>

    For example:

    $ system modify --timezone=Asia/Hong_Kong
    

    Check that the timezone name you are using is installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo.

    After this command is executed, a several seconds delay is expected before the configuration is applied to the system.
