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
[email protected]:~# vim /etc/profile
[email protected]:~# source /etc/profile
[email protected]:~# date -R
Tue, 22 Oct 2019 15:49:02 +0800
TZ='Asia/Shanghai'; export TZ 加入/etc/profile文件尾行即可。
