RedHat Linux操作系统修改时区的方法

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
