Here is an example of changing the timezone: (Logged in as root)
In order to manually change the timezone, you can edit the
/etc/sysconfig/clockfile and then make a new soft link to
/etc/localtime. Here is an example of changing the timezone manually to
“America/Denver”:
1. Select the appropriate time zone from the /usr/share/zoneinfo
directory. Time zone names are relative to that directory. In this case,
we will select “America/Denver”
2. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/clocktext file so that it looks like this:
ZONE=”America/Denver”
UTC=true
ARC=false
Of course, this assumes that your hardware clock is running UTC time…
3. Delete the following file: /etc/localtime (backup it when you need it !)
4. Create a new soft link for /etc/localtime. Here is an example of step 3 and step 4:
# cd /etc
# ls -al localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Mar 28 07:00 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
# rm /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver /etc/localtime
# ls -al localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 28 08:59 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver
# date

查看/修改Linux时区和时间
一、时区
1. 查看当前时区
date -R
2. 修改设置时区
方法(1)
tzselect
方法(2) 仅限于RedHat Linux 和 CentOS
timeconfig
方法(3) 适用于Debian
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
3. 复制相应的时区文件,替换系统时区文件;或者创建链接文件
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/$主时区/$次时区 /etc/localtime
在中国可以使用:
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime
3. 将当前时间和日期写入BIOS,避免重启后失效
hwclock -w
