For various reasons my Linux box is running only at runlevel 3. I need to change the timezone of the box. How do I go about doing this?

On Debian & Ubuntu systems the proper way to do this is:

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
1
# cd /etc
# mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.old
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London localtime

Zoneinfo directory structure may vary for some distros.
