Ubuntu :: Scheduling Cron Job In Different Time Zone

Jan 22, 2011

I have a script to record a weekly radio show from a Sydney radio station.I am in Brisbane.Sydney and Brisbane are both in the same time zone but Sydney(NSW) bounces around on daylight savings time and Brisbane(QLD) does not. Is there a way to specify a timezone for a specific job in the crontab file? If so what would be the format for Sydney so it follows the daylight savings time changes? Right now I will just change the cron schedule when Sydney goes on and off DST.

Ubuntu :: Scheduling Update Manager Time-of-day Runtime?

Apr 7, 2010

I've searched for ways to do this with cron and come up empty. I want to schedule the update manager downloads for the 2-7am hours to avoid being penalized by my satellite service provider for excessive downloads. No, I can't change providers as I live in a rural area where it's the only relatively high speed option

Ubuntu :: Way To Set Time Zone

Nov 11, 2010

I want to change my time zone (not time, but the time zone). Just as an experiment.

I am GMT.

I go to /etc/timezone and enter US/Eastern.

I know that Gmail uses JavaScript to check the computers time zone (not the time). Therefore if I sent an e-mail from Gmail to myself at Gmail it should show the new time.

But it does not. It shows my GMT. Obviously Eastern time is behind GMT.

(The same happens if I just change the time using date -u). Gmail shows the GMT rather than the time a certain number of hours behind the GMT.

How can I set the time zone on my computer so that webmail like Gmail recognises the new time zone?

since the upgrade tzdata (2011c-0ubuntu0.10.04) to 2011d-0ubuntu0.10.04which I installed on Saturday, ntp updates seem to put me in GMT time.I've switched to manual time settings, as it does horrific things to my mythtv database!I'm not sure if its the upgrade, or the ntp time servers. My timezone is Australia/Tasmania.

Programming :: Getting Current Time Zone Offset?

Jun 18, 2010

I'm looking for a function (prefer POSIX, but Linux specific would do if it has to) to get the current timezone offset. For my location, eastern USA, that should be -14400 when daylight time is in effect, and -18000 otherwise.

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Freezes After Selecting Time Zone?

May 8, 2010

Attempting to install 10.04... I can get to the "Where are you?" screen, then the little circular "please wait" cursor spins forever and ever.

Here are a few things I've tried, with no success:Leaving it alone for hours, hoping it was just taking a really long time. No Dice. Unplugging any hardware that might be causing a problem, including the network card. No dice. Burning it to CD, DVD, and booting from a USB key. No dice. Trying every combination of kernel options I could find in the forums, and setting most combinations found in the "more options" menu in the boot screen. No dice. Booting into the live environment, then installing from there (instead of just choosing "install" directly). No Dice. Booting both from the 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs (my machine is 64-bit)

Note: I have not tried just upgrading from my 9.10 install, and I will not try this. If I can't get a live CD to boot, there's no way I would voluntarily hose my current system by upgrading.

Also note: I checked the MD5 of the ISO, and did the "check the disk for defects" menu option as well. Everything checks out fine.

Ubuntu :: Change Time Zone From Gnome Panel Applet?

I frequently travel between San Diego and Boston. I am able to add "Locations" to Gnome's Clock applet, which seems like it should take care of time zone information (see attached screenshot). However, I can't figure out how to set one (or the other) as my current location so that it will update my time zone information.

General :: Incorrect Time Zone Displaying In Arch?

Mar 6, 2010

I have a server running ArchLinux; I recently installed openntpd on it. Since I started paying closer attention to the clock, I started noticing other things; specifically when I run the "date" command, it's returned in PST when it should be "EST":

[spice@sandbox ~]$ date
Sat Mar 6 00:17:42 PST 2010

I have set the hwclock to localtime, configured "HARDWARECLOCK" to "localtime" in rc.conf, and chosen two different (but accurate) values for TIMEZONE in rc.conf:

[spice@sandbox ~]$ hwclock
Sat 06 Mar 2010 03:17:38 AM PST -0.922220 seconds
[spice@sandbox ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep TIMEZONE
TIMEZONE="US/Eastern"
[spice@sandbox ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep HARDWARE
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"

However, as you can see, "hwclock" and "date" both say they're showing PST, although hwclock is showing the time in EST. I am not sure whether this was the case before installing openntpd. Is there another place where I should be setting the time zone?

Ubuntu :: Change Kernel Time Zone "dynamically" With The Boot Command Not With GUI?

Apr 5, 2010

I found a way to change the kernel time zone with the following command

$ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/* /etc/localtime

After I tried it and checked the kernel time zone, but it didn't changed.

It seemed to be applied after rebooting.

Is there any way to change the kernel time zone "dynamically" with the

console command, not with the GUI environment?

Software :: Cron Clock Is An Hour Off To System Time

Mar 31, 2010

I have cron jobs running and the timing is critical, because I'm running Nessus scans on production servers. If I hit them at the wrong time, I'm toast. But when I check the cron log, I see that it is an hour off. Here is the output for the command "clock":
Wed 31 Mar 2010 03:01:26 PM CDT -0.257677 seconds

And this is the tail of the cron log:
Mar 31 16:00:01 nes-001 CROND[8790]: (root) CMD (/Nessus/Targets/NessusScriptDataCenterScan.test)
Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 CROND[8822]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[8822]: starting 0anacron
Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 anacron[8832]: Anacron started on 2010-03-31
Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 anacron[8832]: Normal exit (0 jobs run)
Mar 31 16:01:02 nes-001 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[8834]: finished 0anacron

Cron thinks it is 4:00 p.m., but it's really 3:00 p.m. How do I tell Cron what time it is? (Stopping and restarting the crond service did not change it.)

CentOS 5 :: Cron Job Runs At Incorrect Time - Clocks Seem Ok

Mar 9, 2010

Within a VMWare ESX virtual machine, I am running CentOS 5.2. (Actually, it is kind of a virtual appliance to run CollabNet's Teamforge - which I have installed for a trial). I've been dabling with Linux for a year or so, but I know I have much to learn.

I'm attempting to run a cron job that runs a backup script at 11pm. It works great, but unfortunately it runs at 11:30 am.

I created the cron job using 'crontab -e', while logged in as root. My cron job line is : 0 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /etc/tjt_backup/collabnet_backup.sh

If I type 'date', I get the correct date/time in my timezone: Tue Mar 9 16:27:12 CST 2010

If I type 'clock', I also get the correct date/time: Tue 09 Mar 2010 04:26:57 PM CST -0.463330 seconds

(Although, it appears there is a little drift)

Fedora :: Cron Job (Play Media File At Certain Time) Not Executing
