man cron: It is possible to use different time zones for crontables. See crontab(5) for more information. man 5 crontab: The CRON_TZ variable specifies the time zone specific for the cron table. The user should enter a time according to the specified time zone into the table. The time used for writing into a log file is taken from the local time zone, where the daemon is running. I guess you could run a (perl) script that changes CRON_TZ in your cron table(s) whenever you change the time zone you're in. Or you could run a script that changes the times in the entries. Since the docstrings say that cron either uses inotify or checks the tables every minute, I would think that you're not limited to 'crontab -e' for modifying the tables. -- Hallowed are the Debians! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
