I am not against the logic if well implemented in a script.
E.g., pseudo-code:
1. TZ=zoneinfo/path (e.g., export TZ=America/New_York)
2. Capture date (`date +` formats works well) and compare both:
A. Low value/range(s)
B. High value/range(s)
3. Check for a lock file (e.g., under /var/run if root)
A. Exit if set
B. Create if not set
4. Execute
5. Remove lock file

But do you know where CIOs rate Red Hat versus other
software and services firms for their own, direct needs,
year after year? http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/
