有的时候CentOS的时区不是我们想要的时区，就需要修改一下。下面介绍一下修改时区的方法：
首先，登录到server上，输入date查看时间及时区：
1 [[email protected] ~]# date 2 3 Thu Jan 4 21:37:53 EST 2018
可以看到时区是美东时间，现在我需要把它修改为美国西部时间，即太平洋时间。
输入tzselect,选2) Americas>49) United States>21) Pacific>1) Yes

然后需要更改系统时区，即删除原来的local time，将新的时区链接到localtime。
[[email protected] ~]# rm -f /etc/localtime [[email protected]-sv8-pod6 ~]# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime [[email protected]-sv8-pod6 ~]# date Thu Jan 4 18:55:23 PST 2018
