My server runs on UCT time.
What is the command to check a specific time zone? i.e. America/New_York
And to be clear, I don't wish to update the servers time zone, I just want to know what it calculates another time zone to be.

Yes all Unix machines should use UTC. The timezone is applied at display time.ctrl-alt-delor– ctrl-alt-delor2019-07-17 11:21:01 +00:00Commented Jul 17, 2019 at 11:21

Are you asking “How do I show the time in another timezone?“ctrl-alt-delor– ctrl-alt-delor2019-07-17 11:21:59 +00:00Commented Jul 17, 2019 at 11:21

The easiest way is to specify the time zone in the environment when running the date command:
$ TZ=America/New_York date

From man date:
Show the time on the west coast of the US (use tzselect(1) to find TZ)
$ TZ='America/Los_Angeles' date
This works by setting the variable TZ to a new value just for the date command.
