linux查看设置系统时区

Linux系统如何查看设置所在的时区呢？

 

1：使用date命令查看时区

[root@db-server ~]# date -R

Sun, 11 Jan 2015 07:10:28 -0800

[root@db-server ~]# 

如上RFC 2822 format所示，上面命令输出了-0800表示西八区，是美国旧金山所在的时区，下面表示我们国家的东八区（+0800）

[root@lnx01 ~]# date -R

Sun, 11 Jan 2015 23:06:02 +0800

 

2：查看clock系统配置文件

[root@db-server ~]# more /etc/sysconfig/clock

ZONE="America/Los_Angeles"

UTC=true

ARC=false

 

如上所示，表示该系统设置的时区为“America/Los_Angeles”，也就是西八区。

 

Linux系统如何设置系统所在的时区呢？

方法1：使用tzselect设置时区

例子，将系统时区设置为东八区（北京时间）

[root@db-server ~]# tzselect 

Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.

Please select a continent or ocean.

 1) Africa

 2) Americas

 3) Antarctica

 4) Arctic Ocean

 5) Asia

 6) Atlantic Ocean

 7) Australia

 8) Europe

 9) Indian Ocean

10) Pacific Ocean

11) none - I want to specify the time zone using the Posix TZ format.

#? 5

Please select a country.

 1) Afghanistan           18) Israel                35) Palestine

 2) Armenia               19) Japan                 36) Philippines

 3) Azerbaijan            20) Jordan                37) Qatar

 4) Bahrain               21) Kazakhstan            38) Russia

 5) Bangladesh            22) Korea (North)         39) Saudi Arabia

 6) Bhutan                23) Korea (South)         40) Singapore

 7) Brunei                24) Kuwait                41) Sri Lanka

 8) Cambodia              25) Kyrgyzstan            42) Syria

 9) China                 26) Laos                  43) Taiwan

10) Cyprus                27) Lebanon               44) Tajikistan

11) East Timor            28) Macau                 45) Thailand

12) Georgia               29) Malaysia              46) Turkmenistan

13) Hong Kong             30) Mongolia              47) United Arab Emirates

14) India                 31) Myanmar (Burma)       48) Uzbekistan

15) Indonesia             32) Nepal                 49) Vietnam

16) Iran                  33) Oman                  50) Yemen

17) Iraq                  34) Pakistan

#? 9

Please select one of the following time zone regions.

1) east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.

2) Heilongjiang (except Mohe), Jilin

3) central China - Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Guizhou, etc.

4) most of Tibet & Xinjiang

5) west Tibet & Xinjiang

#? 1

The following information has been given:

        China

        east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.

Therefore TZ='Asia/Shanghai' will be used.

Local time is now:      Sun Jan 11 23:31:51 CST 2015.

Universal Time is now:  Sun Jan 11 15:31:51 UTC 2015.

Is the above information OK?

1) Yes

2) No

#? yes

Please enter 1 for Yes, or 2 for No.

#? 1

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line

        TZ='Asia/Shanghai'; export TZ

to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.

Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you

can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:

Asia/Shanghai

注意：tzselect命令只告诉你选择的时区的写法，并不会生效。所以现在它还不是东8区北京时间。你可以在.profile、.bash_profile或者/etc/profile中设置正确的TZ环境变量并导出。 例如在.bash_profile里面设置 TZ='Asia/Shanghai'; export TZ并使其生效。

[root@db-server ~]# source .bash_profile

[root@db-server ~]# date

Sun Jan 11 23:37:40 CST 2015
