How to check which timezone in Linux?

 Same exemples:



cd /usr/share/zoneinfo
find * -type f -exec sh -c "diff -q /etc/localtime '{}' > /dev/null && echo {}" \;


date +'%:z %Z'



I wanted to find the timezone in "US/Eastern" or "Europe/London" form instead. You can find this in:

• /etc/timezone (present on Ubuntu and Red Hat? but not e.g. Amazon Linux)
• (on Red Hat style systems) as ZONE="US/Eastern" in /etc/sysconfig/clock
