> To modify the local time zone:

> 1. In configuration mode at the [edit system] hierarchy level, set the time zone.
>    `
>    [edit system]
>    user@host# set time-zone time-zone
>    `

>    For example, to set the time zone for New York:

>    `
>    [edit system]
>    user@host# set system time-zone America/New_York
>    `

> 2. Verify the configuration. For example:

>        [edit system]
>        user@host# show
>        time-zone America/New_York;

> 3. For the time zone change to take effect for all processes running on the system, reboot the system.
