世界协调时间(Universal Time Coordinated,UTC):
GPS 系统中有两种时间区分,一为UTC,另一为LT(地方时)两者的区别为时区不同,UTC就是0时区的时间,地方时为本地时间,如北京为早上八点(东八区),UTC时间就为零点,时间比北京时晚八小时,以此计算即可。
购买了Linux VPS,CentOS系统,发现服务器时间与北京时间往往不一致,存在时差。可以通过运行命令tzselect然后输入选项前面的数字来一步一步地设置当前系统时区。
[558idc@localhost 558idc.com]$ date
2018年 10月 28日 星期日 03:08:23 UTC
可以执行tzselect命令按提示更换时区,依次选择5-Asia,9-China,1-Beijing Time。
[558idc@localhost 558idc.com]$ 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

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) Beijing Time
2) Xinjiang Time
#? 1
The following information has been given:
China
Beijing Time
Therefore TZ='Asia/Shanghai' will be used.
Local time is now: Sun Oct 28 11:12:54 CST 2018.
Universal Time is now: Sun Oct 28 03:12:54 UTC 2018.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) 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
1.将TZ='Asia/Shanghai'; export TZ这行添加到/etc/profile(所有用户生效)或者~/.bash_profile(当前用户生效)
2.退出重新登录即可,也可执行source /etc/profile或source ~/.bash_profile立即生效
3.这时候再执行date查看日期就可以发现时区改为北京时间啦。
[558idc@localhost www.558idc.com]$ date
2018年 10月 28日 星期日 11:26:14 CST
经过以上步骤,我们的CentOS Linux系统时间和计算机硬件时间终于都是CST时间了,并且都是北京时间。
