Outside of scheduler issues, is there any reason to do this? Cletus, We run GMT=GMT and all of our system software can tolerate the change without waiting an hour. Unfortunately, we have application software that tracks events with local timestamps and we stay down for the hour because of that. In our manufacturing processes it is illogical that process B completed before process A. We have deemed it not worth the trouble to root out and "fix" all the affected code. We just take the outage. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
