Editing Cron (section)

=== Time zone handling ===
Most cron implementations simply interpret crontab entries in the system time zone setting that the cron daemon runs under.  This can be a source of dispute if a large multi-user machine has users in several time zones, especially if the system default time zone includes the potentially confusing [[DST]]. Thus, a cron implementation may as a special case recognize lines of the form "CRON_TZ=&lt;time zone&gt;" in user crontabs, interpreting subsequent crontab entries relative to that time zone.<ref name="man 5 crontab">{{cite web|url=http://linux.die.net/man/5/crontab |title=crontab(5): tables for driving cron - Linux man page |publisher=Linux.die.net |access-date=2013-11-06}}</ref>
