Crontab and daylight savings...

antic

Here's an interesting one...

I have a process I want to kick off every couple of days at a *set time*. Now, in Crontab, you set the time of day BUT since Florida has daylight savings, from April-October the Cron jobbie will run an hour sooner than during non-daylight savings.

So is there any way to address that, so that I can be sure the process runs at the SAME time for the client all the time?

I guess I can set the job to run every hour, but never do anything until the right UTC hour comes along.... any other suggestions besides that?
