In fact, doing it that way is much more trouble and much more dangerous!
In the spring, there's not really a big problem. You can simply set the
clock forward. You might not even need to shutdown the applications, but
that will depend on them: some of them might take exception to a sudden leap
forward.
In the Autumn you need to shutdown your applications for at least an hour,
so that there is no danger of over-lapping timestamps on database recovery
logs. If you just set TZ correctly this wouldn't be a problem, because the
system clock would always be running in CUT.
In both cases, you have the same issues with plain-text logs' timestamps and
with scheduling as I mentioned before.
I would recommend getting TZ set correctly. It'll be better for your
applications and a lot less hassle for you!
