It can be overridden by an individual user's settings, but it is also
configured system-wide via the /etc/localtime file/symlink.
Thanks; I didn't realize this.

I assume, but I'm no expert, that cron also uses the
timezone of the user whose cronjob it's currently running.
I don't think the user's .bash_profile, .profile, etc. are sourced during a
cron run. Your .bashrc might, but normally not. Even global files of this
type like /etc/profile are generally not sourced during the cron run.
This means that the user's overrides are generally not honored, so the
timezone will be what is specified in /etc/localtime. The overrides are all
via environment variables, so you can set them in your crontab if you want.
Thanks for the explanations.
