rundeck 2.1.1 - change timezone

[George Koumantaris]

Hello,

Running rundeck 2.1.1 with the launcher and the timezone is in UTC. Is there anyway to change it. The only setting i see is in preferences.properties but it doesn't work, i tried changing it and restarting. 

My server's local time is in eastern time. 

Is it possible to change the time or is hardcoded to UTC?

thank you

You can use -Duser.timezone to set the timezone property for the JVM

Thanks Greg,
putting -Duser.timezone=EST5EDT in the JVM options fixed the issue.

Hi,

    Trying to solve this problem also on my rundeck install.

Putting the -Duser.timezone=Asia/Singapore as per the below ps -ef output shows, but the display time is still UTC, which is a problem for correlating activities with actual time. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Gavin,

timezone support is still unfortunately not very good, there are a few issues filed for it: https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+timezone
