To admins of those systems whose cron is not sufficiently smart to compensate for the shift to daylight saving time: You are reminded that, at most places in North America, 1:59:59 am on Sunday, April 2, will be followed 1 second later by 3:00:00 am. Check your /usr/lib/crontab file! In doing so, note that if you move a nightly or weekly job out of that skipped interval by setting it one hour earlier, you will have to move it again before October 29 or it will then be done twice. Of course, you can always choose to have *crontab* specify that the job run at different times in different months, if you consider the cost reasonable.
