Being an EDT/EST snob, I had my cron job all set for 11:59p tonight to record the leap second. But then reading an article today on the topic,
I realized this isn't happening at midnight EDT -0400, but at UTC time which will be 7:59p EDT. Article: http://www.space.com/16356-leap-second-added-clocks-saturday.html The next time will be Saturday, when the master clock at the United States Naval Observatory will be adjusted at 7:59:60 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, or 23:59:60 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This will put Mother Earth about four-tenths of a second ahead of the clock, giving her a bit of a head start as we transition into the new month of July. But now I'm wondering, will NTP pickup the change at 8:00p EDT? Or must I do something to catch the change?
