Hello folks, For Linux / Unix servers, it is kind of tempting to just change system time to UTC, forget about future modifications to DST, and get used to making sense of the logs in UTC time. However, things like cron jobs and BackupPC blackout times are now going to be time shifted as if UTC is now local time e.g. cron job that used to run at 2am EST is now running at 2am UTC or 9pm EST or 10pm EDT.
Is there a way in BackupPC to make it interpret blackout times in local timezone when system clock is set to UTC? Or do you need to time shift blackout times for your local timezone (technically will be an "hour off" during part of the year depending on how you look at it). FWIW for e-mail, at least if you use Thunderbird, it seems to make sense of the timezone and show the correct time and date for local time even if the server that sent the e-mail uses UTC. I'm not sure how other e-mail clients fare. Thanks, Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
