Re: Robot Schedule failed across daylight savings time change

Well, you scared me!  Then I looked it up; we don't switch off of DST 
until Nov. 4th in the 'States.

As far as what we do--  we use Robot/Schedule.  Schedule will not run 
a job twice on the same day, so 'Fall Back' won't result in 
duplicated jobs.

Robot also recommends shutting down Schedule during the Jump 
(although we've lived though it without stopping it).

In Spring, there's a potential to skip a job during the Jump.  We 
don't schedule jobs between 2 and 3 (and periodically check to make 
sure we didn't slip a job into an 'open slot'), so we don't miss out 
on anything.
