What happens if my machine is running local time with daylight savings adjustments, and I schedule jobs between 2 and 3 am (or whenever the transitions occurs)? Do they get skipped in the daylight savings transition in Spring and run twice in the Fall? I looked in the handbook and mailing list archives, but found nothing except for a couple of posts in 1995, with the statement that this issue was under discussion. I notice that /etc/crontab schedules daily maintenance for 2 am. The issue raised in the 1995 post was that these activites were skipped in the April forward clock adjustment. -- Graeme Tait To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
