Sync Clock/Linux/Daylight Savings Time


Recommended Posts

I'm going insane and today I finally figured out what it was.

 

My Linux servers, for some reason, kept jumping ahead by an hour. I would set it back and it would jump again a few hours later. I have been killing myself trying to find out the problem. It interferes with running some of my scripts/cron jobs on the Linux machines.

 

I finally found this morning that while looking at the linux server and the windows server together, they have the same physical time, Retrospect's client viewing panel thinks that the client is off by 1 hour and if I sync it, the client jumps ahead 1 hour. making it 1 hour later than the windows server.

 

I like having all my servers synced up. I set the time on the windows server automatically with a network time server before a backup. then I have it sync the clients. many scripts are dependant on other servers getting the time right so this is important to me. However, The darn Retrospect program thinks everyone is off by an hour.

 

How can I fix this?
