TIMEZONE - INTERPRETATION BY CRON
How does a CRON job refer to the timezone when starting to execute it?
Say, I am in San Francisco (my timezone is PST). I schedule a cron job to run at 01:35 AM everyday. On October 26 (the day on which PST becomes the effective taking into consideration day light savings switch), how many times does my cron job run on that specific day?
In other words, how does cron determine the timezone according to which it needs to run scheduled jobs?
