CentOS7 How to Modify server system time _linux

It is not known why the server is on the wrong system time, nearly 63 minutes faster than the actual UTC. It is easy to confuse when a timestamp checksum is involved in a local file and a remote server file.

Here, the process of correcting the system time is recorded as follows.

References: http://www.centoscn.com/CentOS/config/2015/0723/5901.html

In CentOS 7 there is a command timedatectl can help us modify the server's time zone.

1. View the time set timedatectl in the server, which is equivalent to TIMEDATECTL status:

$ timedatectl Local
time:mon 2016-08-29 16:20:35 CST
Universal Time:mon 2016-08-29 08:20:35 UTC
RTC Time:mo  n 2016-08-29 08:18:07 time
Zone:asia/shanghai (CST, +0800)
NTP enabled:yes
NTP synchronized:no
RTC Local Tz:no
DST active:n/a

2. Understand the parameters of the TIMEDATECTL command:

$ timedatectl-h
timedatectl [OPTIONS ...] COMMAND ...
Query or change the system time and date settings.
-H--help Show this help message
--version Show package version--no-pager does not
pipe output into a pager
--n O-ask-password don't prompt for password-
h--host=[user@]host Operate on remote host-
m--machine=container Oper Ate on the local container
--adjust-system-clock adjust system clock when changing the local RTC mode
Commands:

set-time time Set system time
Set-timezone ZONE set system time ZONE
List-ti Mezones show known time zones
SET-LOCAL-RTC BOOL Control whether RTC-in local time

3. Set time

$ sudo timedatectl set-time 15:26:58$ timedatectl local time:mon 2016-08-29 15:27:00
CST
Universal Time:mon 2016 -08-29 07:27:00 UTC
