Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-104 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/share/man/man5/crontab.5.gz
Please add a note to the bottom of crontab(5) along the lines of: Say one lives in Taiwan but has an account on a thousand user machine in California. How can we write a crontab that will still work as if it were in our own timezone? I.e., with times that mean my local time, not the machine's local time. Just put a "TZ = Asia/Taipei" at the top of the file, you say? No, 0 7 * * * will still fire at 07:00 California time, TZ will only affect the environment the command is run under... only half of what we want. How about $ TZ=Asia/Taipei crontab file Sorry again I bet. So please document that there is no answer, or document the answer. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
