Hello,

I found alot of hits for this in the summary archive, but nothing
that actually answers the question, see this for example:

http://www.sunmanagers.org/archives/1998/1838.html

Does anyone know, if I have the TZ set to Pacific, will my cron jobs
between 2am and 3am (or whenever the "time change" happens) get
skipped by cron, or will they run?

I am fully aware of how UNIX time works (seconds since 1970)
and that Solaris uses this internally, but I know cron used to have
problems with this. Is this the case in Solaris 8?

Thanks!
Rob Helmer
