I have a couple questions... I am in Indiana and our time zone is changing. I used to choose America/Indiana/Indianapolis as the zone and we are changing to Eastern.
Question 1) Is there a command line only way to change my timezone? I dont have access to X to run system-config-time. Doing a "system-config-time --help" or "system-config-time -h" did not give any information.
Question 2) If the server is setup for NTP I presume I still have to change the time zone. Since Indiana-East is going away are the NTP time servers smart enough to know that Indiana-East is now just Eastern? Basically - do I have to change anything on my machines or does NTP just do it for me?
I just do this kind of stuff manually ...
delete the file /etc/localtime
copy the correct file from /usr/share/zoneinfo to be /etc/localtime
I'm sure there is a tool too ... anybody know of one?
