For a global setting you would need to edit /etc/default/init, but for a single shell:

Code:
bash-3.00$ date
Friday February 10 13:59:40 GMT 2006
bash-3.00$ export  TZ=Hongkong
bash-3.00$ date
Friday February 10 21:59:41 HKT 2006
bash-3.00$

Entering an invalid TZ will be silently ignored, and the system default value will be used for commands such as date.
