OK,thanks for your quickly reply,Maxim Dounin.

When i heard that nginx will detect the TimeZone variable at startup,i
am so happy! 

Maybe i have set CST timezone for my own user,not ALL users.i will try
to set it to Global later.

and to define it in nginx.conf file via "env" probably not work at all,i
tried it before.for example "env TZ=Asia/Shanghai".
