Linux - 設定TimeZone
[root@darwin-test ~]# date
Wed Feb 9 05:20:22 EST 2011 [root@darwin-test ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
# The ZONE parameter is only evaluated by system-config-date.
# The timezone of the system is defined by the contents of /etc/localtime.
ZONE="America/New_York" //目前是New York時區
UTC=true
ARC=false
暫時設定台灣時區
[root@darwin-test ~]# export TZ='Asia/Taipei'
[root@darwin-test ~]# date
Wed Feb 9 18:22:24 CST 2011
永久設定時區
[root@darwin-test ~]# system-config-date
[root@darwin-test ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
# The ZONE parameter is only evaluated by system-config-date.
# The timezone of the system is defined by the contents of /etc/localtime.

另一作法-永久設定時區
編輯家目錄.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile
#vi $HOME/.profile
內容如下
export TZ='Asia/Taipei'

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
TZ='Asia/Taipei'; export TZto 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/Taipei
Nice…thanks for this.
