From f26417e87c8113034d4e5c011f2e2e8eeda66feb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gjb Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:48:00 +0000 Subject: As cron(8) is started with '-s' by default, timezones that observe DST should not need to worry about scheduling jobs when the DST time changes. Rather than removing the BUGS section in crontab(5) regarding this, note that disabling '-s' may still cause jobs to be executed twice or not at all.
