Therefore TZ='Asia/Shanghai' will be used. Local time is now: Sat Aug 29 10:33:56 CST 2020. Universal Time is now: Sat Aug 29 02:33:56 UTC 2020. 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
