Pandemonium.
Even though these comments are not germane to the subject it should be pointed out
that the
command "timedatectl" does more than just set the timezone. It does unify, or
seeks to unify,
aspects of setting the time and date.
An example of that is that the user need not know what process is being used for NTP
service.
The set-ntp takes care of that.
When it comes to time zones, it can help clear up some ambiguities for people that
don't live in
the US. Like, did you know that Taiwan the abbreviation for our time zone is CST?
Setting the
time zone from the list provided by --list-timezones can assist those unaware of such
things.
