Adjust cron to new timezone without a system restart

Question

I've recently changed the timezone of my system.

timedatectl set-timezone [timezone]

I then restarted cron to adjust to the new timezone.

service cron reload

However, cron was still scheduling in the old timezone. I had to reboot the system before cron would adjust.

How can I force cron to use the new timezone if reloading the service won't work?

System: Ubuntu 16.04.

EDIT

This question is very similar to this question, but the cause of the problem, as well as the solution, were different.

Answer 1

Executing a reload of cron didn't seem to be enough to refresh the timezone. However, running this command worked:

service cron restart
