(stackoverflow.com)

I changed the time zone of my server (Ubuntu 12.04) to UTC via:
echo 'UTC' > /etc/timezone
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdataWhen running
date
, I can see the time is now in UTC. However, on/var/log/syslog
, it still displays the time with the previous setup timezone and not UTC. Why? How to make it take effect on the whole system? Reboot?
