timezone

The timezone Kickstart command is required. It sets the system time zone. Use this command only once.

Syntax

              timezone timezone [OPTIONS]
Mandatory options
  • timezone - the time zone to set for the system.
Optional options
  • --utc - If present, the system assumes the hardware clock is set to UTC (Greenwich Mean) time.
Note
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, time zone names are validated using the pytz.all_timezones list, provided by the pytz package. In previous releases, the names were validated against pytz.common_timezones, which is a subset of the currently used list. Note that the graphical and text mode interfaces still use the more restricted pytz.common_timezones list; you must use a Kickstart file to use additional time zone definitions.
