TZ isn't set. cron opens 4 human-readable files in/under /etc -- none have anything particularly inspiring in them. Cheers, Roy, puzzled. footnote: how I should have found the files, instead of the manual approach I took: for file in `grep open /tmp/strace.out | grep etc | cut -d'"' -f2 | \ sort -u`; do file $file | grep ASCII | cut -d':' -f1 ; done others may have more elegant solutions
