How to change kernel time zone "dynamically" with the boot command, not with GUI??

I found a way to change the kernel time zone with the following command

$ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/* /etc/localtime

After I tried it and checked the kernel time zone, but it didn't changed.

It seemed to be applied after rebooting.


Is there any way to change the kernel time zone "dynamically" with the

console command, not with the GUI environment?


Thanks a lot!!

I don't know any way to change the system timezone without a reboot. I don't know what distribution you're running, but this from RH : http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/timezone.html suggests that you can change the local time without a reboot.
