• 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.
