Server :: Difference Between America/Mexico_City And Mexico/General Timezone Files?
Nov 25, 2010
I have a Centos 5.5 server and I had a problem with its time because it was 1 one hour ahead of my local time. I installed and activated NTP and I created a link for /etc/localtime:
Code:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Mexico_City /etc/localtime
I reboot the server and waited for 1 hour but the time wasnt correct. The server's BIOS clock has UTC time so I edited /etc/sysconfig/clock file replacing:
Code:
UTC=false for
UTC=true
I reboot the server and waited for 1 hour but the time wasnt correct. After breaking my head for about 1 hour, I realized that there is a directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico and changed my link for /etc/localtime
Code:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico/General /etc/localtime
And It worked. What is the difference between America/Mexico_City and Mexico/General files in /usr/share/timezones, they should be identical but of course they are not?

I was wondering if there is a way of knowing what is the current set timezone for a linux server. I know that "date +%Z" gives the 3 letter abbreviation of the timezone, but then CST can be interpreted as Central Standard Time (US) and as China Standard Time. I'm looking for a way I could tell what is the real timezone, e.g. "Asia/Jerusalem", "Europe/London", etc. I know that I can set the timezone by symlinking /usr/share/zoneinfo/<Timezone Name> to /etc/localtime, but when I freshly install CentOS and choose my timezone, /etc/localtime isn't a symlink at all so I can't use this info...

I have iunstalled AA2.5 and found that after exiting it still resides in memory and blocks any sound in other applications until terminated via system monitor.There was no such behavior under Ubuntu. So my question is how to make it exit normally?

I noticed something a little odd I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on. I noticed in a couple of cases that a package has the proper version, but differs in two regards.
1. The package ends up with a .el4 on the end of the version for Red Hat 4.
2. The actual MD5Sum of the files the package provides differ.
An example below:
Code:
[root@RH4ES32-MCE bin]# for i in `rpm -ql GConf2`;do md5sum $i;done;
md5sum: /etc/gconf/2: Is a directory
9f90335546f7c57ae6fb552cc2b919c5 /etc/gconf/2/path
md5sum: /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults: Is a directory
[code].....
So my package changed slightly to now show .el4 versus just 2-2.8.1-1 I've indicated in the first output above that the first couple of lines differ. I stopped my comparison at that point as they truly are different.

In the panel at the top of the screen it shows the time of day - perhaps at the international date line. Is there a setting somewhere that allows me to inform the system of my time zone? Tried "info timezone" - drew a blank. Don't know where to look.

Is there any function I can use to set the timezone of the entire system in linux using C? (Other than creating a symbolic link between /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo/). Could I specify the timezone offset in seconds by any chance?

I don't really like Los Angeles (they steal all our water) and neither Tijuana nor Vancouver make sense to me, so I am trying to make my own, custom timezone of Felton, California. How do I do this? I changed my /etc/timezone to "America/Felton" but upon reboot my calendar still says "Los Angeles". Which files do I need to change?

so as the title says.
i saw this in nagios.cfg:
Code:
# TIMEZONE OFFSET
# This option is used to override the default timezone that this
# instance of Nagios runs in. If not specified, Nagios will use
# the system configured timezone.

I wanted to change the timezone from Asia/Shanghai to Asia/Hong_Kong on RHEL5U5 in a non-interactive way. After I　executed the following command:
Code:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Hong_Kong /etc/localtime
I checked the timezone with the 'setup' command, and found the timezone is still Asia/Shanghai. Did I change the timezone to Asia/Hong_Kong successfully? Why the 'setup' program still shows the former timezone? Is there any other way to change timezone in a non-interactive way other than relinking the /etc/localtime?

What is the difference below these files?
1)Say an application is written and is having source files.
2)A file called source rpm package
3)A rpm package
In case of (1) we need to compile using either the make or if we know using appropriate compiler with proper libs included. Can I know what's the difference between (2) and (3)?

I just upgraded my kernel to version 2.6.38 & I seem to have missed a few modules. I tried using diff to get a list of the differences between the files lsmod-2.6.35 & lsmod-2.5.38, which I created for this. Unfortunatly I can't seem to figure out the right syntax to do what I want which is to just show me whats missing. For example, I want to subtract the lines from file1 & file2 which are the same, leaving me with the difference in file3. i.e. file3 = file1 - file2 Is this possible or am I just using the wrong program.

I usually custom compile my kernel and generate the header files with the following command:
Code:
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=generic-ide kenrel_image kernel_headers
However, I noticed that there are some difference in the headers files that get generated with the above command as compared to the header files that are available from Debian repo. For example, the header files for 2.6.24 kernel have files like:
Code:
debian:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/arch/x86# ls Kconfig Kconfig.cpu Kconfig.debug kernel Makefile Makefile_32 Makefile_32.cpu Makefile_64 However, if I custom compile the above kernel from Debian sources (2.6.24), the headers files does not have the above files:
Code:
debain:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-generic-ide/arch/x86# ls
boot ia32 Kconfig.cpu kernel lib mach-es7000 mach-visws Makefile mm pci vdso xen
crypto Kconfig Kconfig.debug lguest mach-default mach-generic mach-voyager math-emu oprofile power video
As you can see from above output, files like Makefile_32, Makefile_32.cpu are not present, if I generate kernel headers files using the make-kpkg command as mentioned in the beginning of the post. I happened to notice the above issue, while I was trying to compile a out-of-tree kernel module and the "make" command for those sources (some graphics card drm module) worked with the default header files (linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686) but did not work with (linux-headers-2.6.24-generic-ide) because it did not find the Makefile_32. Although I was able to fix the problem by copying the Makefile_32 from linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 but I would like to know why there is a difference. This is bit of a concern because it unnecessarily breaks the out-of-tree module compilation process because of trivial reasons.
