CentOS 7 Time Zone settings

CentOS 7 Time Zone settings

After CentOS 7 is installed, You need to modify the time zone of the device for various reasons or synchronize the Time of the server.

In CentOS 7, there is a command timedatectl to help us modify the time zone of the server.

First, you can use the timedatectl command to view the time zone settings on the current server:

Local time: Wed 2015-07-22 16:48:14 CST

Universal time: Wed 2015-07-22 08:48:14 UTC

Timezone: Asia/Shanghai (CST, + 0800)

NTP enabled: yes

NTP synchronized: yes

RTC in local TZ: yes

DST active: n/

You can see all the settings in the current server, such as time, time zone, NTP, etc.

Run the "timedatectllist-timezones" command to view all time zones.

After checking the time zone, we can run the "timedatectl set-timezone" command"

For example, we need to set the time zone to Shanghai: "timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Shanghai"

You can also enable or disable the NTP server after setting the time zone.

Enable NTP: "timedatectl set-ntp yes"

Disable NTP: "timedatectl set-ntp no"

Of course, the timedatectl command can also set the date and time

Set date: "timedatectl set-time YYYY-MM-DD"

Set time: "timedatectl set-time HH: MM: SS"
