Golang: fork process with custom timezone-CodePudding

In Golang is it possible to fork a child process and force it to use a shifted timezone from UTC? For instance, my server's timezone is UTC, and I want the forked process to use UTC 5.

The answers to this question will give you more details (Setting timezone globally in golang) but ultimately you can simply set the TZ environment variable and then execute the command:

cmd := exec.Command("myprogram")
cmdtz := "TZ=America/New_York"
cmd.Env = append(os.Environ(), cmdtz)
if err := cmd.Run(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
