AM using ubuntu 16.04 in AWS.

I have changed server time from UTC to Kuwait time, after that date command printing correct time as per the time zone. 

$ date 
Sun Mar 3 06:46:19 +03 2019

But the problem is if I have set a cronjob 6: 40, and it will not run that time, its run only after3 hours. am not understating why it happens. I have changed time using below command sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and select Aisai/Kuwait.

    Have you rebooted server so all daemons / background processes have been restarted with the new time setup ?

You may specify the time zone for a crontab entry separately from the system time zone. Different users may also have different time zones specified.

You can specify the timezone to use for crontab with the CRON_TZ. Simply place 

CRON_TZ=Asia/Kuwait

on a line above the other crontab entries.
