如何更改ubuntu服务器的时区

Linux默认情况下使用UTC格式作为标准时间格式，如果在Linux下运行程序，且在程序中指定了与系统不一样的时区的时候，可能会造成时间错误。在Server版中，需要通过tzconfig来修改时区信息了。使用方式(如将时区设置成Asia/Chongqing)：

root@nao:~# 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
13) Hong Kong             30) Mongolia              47) United Arab Emirates

16) Iran                  33) Oman                  50) Yemen
17) Iraq                  34) Pakistan
#? 9
Please select one of the following time zone regions.
1) east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.
2) Heilongjiang (except Mohe), Jilin
3) central China - Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Guizhou, etc.
4) most of Tibet & Xinjiang
5) west Tibet & Xinjiang
#? 1

The following information has been given:

China
east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.

Therefore TZ='Asia/Shanghai' will be used.
Local time is now:      Wed Jul 23 16:07:25 CST 2014.
Universal Time is now:  Wed Jul 23 08:07:25 UTC 2014.
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

ok，这里我们已经将时区选成了Asia/Shanghai了，但是我们还需要做如下的操作

root@nao:~# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

然后我们执行时间同步命令：

ntpdate 192.168.1.100

然后我们可以查看我们的时间已经调整回来了，如果需要定时同步的话，要在定时任务中加一条同步的定时任务就可以了。
