Issue
If jenkins is installed as a package manager, user.timezone can be modified by editing the jenkins file in the /etc/default/ path.
However, when running jenkins as war, there is no file in the path, so it cannot be set.
Is there a file or method to modify the system properties of jenkins when it is run as war?
Solution
You can pass the timezone as the system property user.timezone when starting the war file like java -Duser.timezone=America/Chicago -jar jenkins.war. You can verify that the timezone has been set correctly by going to the jenkins_host/systemInfo page
