crontab line: 1 2 * * * [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c > /dev/null 2>&1

I have an old system that, if patched, we loose support on an ancient  application. So we don't patch.
I would like to move the clock for DST with a cronjob but I thought it would conflict with the line:
crontab line: 1 2 * * * [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c > /dev/null 2>&1

Even thought this is in cron I can't find "rtc" on the system. I can't find it on any of my systems. Is this missing only on my systems or do you all notice it gone too?

Would there be any reason I shouldn't rem this out since I specifically want to move the clock myself?

So what do the new systems use to know when to change for  DST?
