I have noticed that some of my cron jobs are running an hour later
than they are normally run. Example uucp.cleanup is supposed to
run at 23:45 but it is running at 00:45 instead. This has occured
since the swich to EDT. The system swiched the time on sunday
just like we would change the clocks automaticly. Now not all the
jobs are running late just some. Have I come across a bug with
SCO UNIX SYS V/386 Rel. 3.2.2. Or is there something that I should
do to get things back on track (besides a reboot of the system).
I was supprised when I found the clock had changed. I am just glad
that I didn't have anything of real importance that needed to be
run at a specific time. My next question would be when we switch
back to EST will this become a problem once again.

Just wondering,

Scott Scheingold
