Daylight Saving's Time Rollback and Linux Cron Jobs

edited Mar 13, 2019 3:27PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I have 5 specific questions to ask, related to the 1am~2am cron job executions during DST ROLLBACK.

Many thanks,

Joy

Scenario:  Nov. Sunday Daylight Saving's Time rollback (1:59:59 becomes 1:00:00)

Question 1:

Hourly cron job:  30 * * * * /bkup/scripts/CXA/backup_sid_service_ARC.sh

The job will run at 1:30 am before rollback.

Will the job run again at 1:30 am after rollback?

Question 2:

Hourly cron job:  00 * * * * /bkup/scripts/CXA/backup_sid_service_ARC.sh

The job will run at 1:00 am before rollback.

Will the job run again at 1:00 am after rollback?

Question 3:

Weekly cron job:  00 01 * * 0,2,5 /bkup/scripts/CXA/backup_sid_service_L1C.sh

Howdy, Stranger!
