I've got an issue with needing to be able to run cron jobs at times
relevant to various cron jobs.  I'm pretty sure I can't do this with
standard tools, but am not excited about having to create a whole

solution

for this.  Does anyone have a suggestion for how to address this?

For the record, this is one of the reasons i think timezones and day

light

savings should both be abolished.  Lets throw in a mandatory 24hr clock
just for kicks.  People would get used to it eventually. :)


I apologize, I should have taken an extra minute to re-read my message.  I
am trying to work with timezones and cron together.  IE Server is on CST,
needs to run reports at 4pm in EST, CST, MST, and PST.

I have been browsing through search results as well, and have seen some
interesting results, but nothing usable.

Have you tried the -6 approach? CST/CDT =-6 so 3PM for Eastern, 4PM for
Central, 5PM for Mountain, 6PM for Pacific? I don't see a problem with
timezones unless you don't know what time it is and then -6 does not
help you. You should be able to do this all on one line or comment the
crontab file and separate it out by timezone.

ie:

#EASTERN JOBS
job1
job2

#CENTRAL JOBS
job1
job2

etc.
