No, not the OP, *I* am using BIOS to wake up the PC (no laptop) in the
night to backup local data to my NAS and run some other scripts..
Cron works fine using /usr/libexec/cron/run-crons. Will check anachron,
as the system is not running 24/7. However, I need support for time
zones in cron scripts as the backup should always start at 2am UTC (BIOS
clock is running on UTC), although in live in CET (currently CEST).
E.g. crontab for root contains entries like this:
# Cron jobs UTC timezone
CRON_TZ=':UTC'
# Backup daily
05 2 * * * ...
...
# Cron jobs Berlin timezone
CRON_TZ=':Europe/Berlin'
...
Not sure if anachron supports different time zones, though.
Regards,
Oliver
