My concern would be that you might have the time being written as each process perceives it and there could be a mismatch, eg.
Code:
12:34:56 Event good
12:34:59 Event good
12:35:02 Event good
11:35:02 Event unexpected
12:35:03 Event good
If you have a busy and common application log, this could make quite a mess. An alternate worry might be if an application does it's own logging within a database. We have to switch of NTP for one of these when it kept complaining that the clock had moved back.
Not that these are necessarily a problem in your case, just something to consider. I must say I'm left to wonder why you would want to make such a change without a boot? Is it so hard to find a window to boot in?
My previous answer is incorrect. I just looked at the localtime source code and noticed the time zone definitions are loaded only once and stored in a cache.
That means an altered timezone will only be taken into account by new processes but not by those already running.
I would then agree with rbatte1 and suggest the operation be followed by a reboot to make sure all processes, including init are in sync.
