> Reported by Sander  at  https://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOSX-1269
> Original Description:
> When investigating some issues with the overdue loan portfolio we found out 
> that the current way the jobs are handled can cause differences in the 
> figures for tenants by not picking up the correct date.
> The server has the timezone set to UTC/GMT. When a cronjob is added with a 
> cron entry to run at 0:01 every day, the java scheduler converts this into 
> the timezone of the tenant (UTC+3 in this example). In this case this results 
> in the actual schedule to be kicked off at 21:01 the day before.
> When the job then triggers it on 21:01 on 01-06-2014 it uses the mysql 
> CURDATE() feature to decide on the current date, but this returns in UTC, 
> therefore reporting everything against 01-06-2014, instead of 02-06-2014 
> which was the expected (based on timezone UTC+3).
> In this case the arrears are updated incorrectly, but same applies to 
> prepayments and all other jobs that happen in the gap between UTC and the 
> tenant timezone.
> Workaround: Update the cronjob entry to run at 03:01 (UTC+3) by default, this 
> then gets converted into 0:01 (UTC) and therefore it uses 02-06-2014 as the 
> date.
