Cron and DST patches

[Jason.Shein-V7Ve2fXh0sTQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org]

Informational post:

I just wanted to inform everyone, as I have discovered, that after 
applying the DST
patches to some systems the cron daemon has to be restarted or it will run 
an hour late. 
Evidently this is a known problem, but until today I had been unaware of 
this issue.

So if you have any tasks that are doing any form of time stamping, please 
check to ensure
the proper time stamp is being applied. In my search for information, I 
have also discovered
several posts regarding dST patch issues with sendmail timestamps, again 
solved by
restarting the service.
