Description Jason Merrill 2015-08-05 14:20:01 UTC

Description of problem:
When my laptop changes timezone, cron jobs continue to run as though it was still in the old timezone.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cronie-1.4.12-5.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use 'crontab' to add job to run at specific time.  Mine is:

45 7 * * * $HOME/bin/aup > $HOME/aup.out 2>&1

2. Change the time zone in Settings.

Actual results:
Job runs at specified time in old timezone.

Expected results:
Job runs at specified time in current timezone.

Is this a regression? As it is probably not I'd say this is a feature request. You need to restart the crond to notice the timezone change.
