Actually 'resetting at the moment of time change' is probably a better 
characterization. STP changes the time offset at the top of the hour, so timer 
intervals would reset to that. BTW I should have said that the auto command has 
I=3600, not T=.

Subject: Re: Time change effect on JES2 AUTO commands

I don't know if I would infer that JES2 resyncs to the top of the hour.  I 
would infer that JES2 simply restarted its 3600 second timer at the point of 
time the time changed.  I would guess that if, for example, at 5:35 PM you 
changed the time to 5:36 PM, your hourly automatic command would start 
faithfully executing every hour at 36 minutes after the hour.

Subject: Time change effect on JES2 AUTO commands

I'm 90% sure of the answer but would like confirmation. We have a JES2 
automatic command that's executes once an hour (T=3600) with no specific start 
time. Before the Sunday Daylight Saving Time switch, this command was executing 
at 45 minutes past the hour. Immediately after the time switch, it began 
executing at 1 minute past the hour. We had no IPLs or JES2 restarts.

Can I infer that upon detecting a local time change, JES2 resyncs automatic 
commands to the top of the hour?
