CentOS 7.x Change system timezone

There is newer article on this at CentOS 8.x Change system timezone

To set correct timezone in system one can use following steps:

    rm -f /etc/localtime
    ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/<desired-timezone> /etc/localtime

For example if desired timezone is Asia/Kolkata then use:

    rm -f /etc/localtime
    ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata /etc/localtime
