System date in GMT but crontab in CET ?

Hi managers,

I have recently changed the date of my TRU64 Unix Server (V5.1 A) from CET
to GMT.

Apparently, the jobs in crontab do not start at the (new) system time but
still at the old one.

Ex :

The date is now :

Tue Jul 19 15:00:00 GMT 2005

My crontab job is supposed to start at :

05 17 * * 0 /bin/ksh /ora1/oracle/bin/gen_insert_week.sh

but it will still start at 15:05 GMT.

Is it normal or do I have to change another parameter for the crontab ?

Best regards,

Michel Berger
