[Backgroundrb-devel] Severe Bug with daylight saving time?

[Adam Williams]

I have suffered the same way, and also believe it to be a time change  
issue. We spent a good deal of time discovering, after the time change  
a few weeks ago, that the schedule '0 0 0 * * * *' would no long work  
at all. We are now running on '23 59 59 * * * *', and that seems to be  
fine.
