Hi,

I've just changed the system time zone from local time to UTC by copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC to /etc/localtime. To my dismay, I found that crontab (both /etc/crontab and user-level crontab) completely ignores the change and continues executing scripts according to the old time.

What am I doing wrong?

To my knowledge, timezone is taken from the environment when a process starts. If you want cron to honor the new timezone, restart cron, or set the TZ explicitly in the relevant crontab.
