HowTo Adjust timezone/time in Linux

HowTo Adjust Timezone/Time in Linux

 

1) The Timezone file is in /usr/share/zoneinfo/...

   find the file what you want and replace /etc/localtime/

 ex: #cp /etc/share/zoneinfo/America/Tiguana /etc/localtime

 2) midify /etc/sysconfig/clock

 ex: #vi /etc/sysconfig/clock

       ZONE="America/Tijuana"
       UTC=false
       ARC=false

   save it and quit.

 3) Set correct time, use 'date MMDDhhmmCCYY.ss' command

    # date 032222582007.55 (MM是月份,DD是日,hh是小时,mm是分钟,CCYY是年份ss是秒数)

     means set the time as 2007-03-22 22:58:55

     and you can also run 'clock -w' write the time into CMOS.
