problem.. now I've got to track down why it happened only last night (cron was
restarted this morning and it doesn't seem to be having problems).. It has
something to do with the TZ variable that the user that runs cron gets when it
starts. any input..

Hey, all,
I've got a strange problem on just one of my systems (E3500.. Solaris 2.6
last patched from the Jan 4th recommended patch cluster.. 105181-30 kernel..).
.. last night (I'm guessing around 6:30pm), jobs that were run through cron
displayed the date in their log files (or emails) as 5 hours ahead of the actual
time. According to users, the actual system date was correct but cron seemed to
be pulling the wrong date from somewhere. I've proven that this was true
because /var/cron/log shows the correct times that jobs were supposed to run but
the log files from the jobs were 5 hours in front. Also, the logs are showing
the time zone (when date is run in the cron jobs) as ESTEDT instead of just EST
like normal. I tested a cron job a little while ago and it would seem that
everything is ok now.. Nothing, as far as I know, changed last night. I'm
looking into bug reports and patches now.. but I'd appreciate any insight...
thx
Changa
