Are you really changing the date on the clock, or have you just used tzsetup to create /etc/localtime with your timezone info? If you haven't done the latter, you should do it now, and just leave the system clock at UTC. > How can I get cron to adapt to BST and not run in GMT all year round? Exactly what do you mean by "adapt to BST"? If you just want it to report BST instead of GMT and have set the system clock is set to GMT, try setting the TZ variable in /etc/crontab. The system doesn't reconize BST, but you can set it to the offset from GMT. If you mean something else, you'll need to explain exactly what you mean. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
