It is currently using Pacific Time, which is annoying when it comes to cron times, plus gives plenty of footgun opportunities when it comes to timezone conversion bugs. Let's just change it to UTC to match most of the other servers.

Given brasstacks is running RH, it seems I'd need to: 1) Edit /etc/sysconfig/clock and make the contents equal to: ZONE="UTC" UTC=True 2) ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime 3) confirm using `date` Presuming there are no objections, I'll do this tomorrow :-)

(In reply to Ed Morley [:emorley] from comment #0) > plus gives plenty of footgun opportunities when it comes to timezone conversion bugs. eg for both woo_commenter.py and woo_mailer.py when they calculate date ranges "up until yesterday" - it's actually "yesterday pacific time" which can be quite a while ago, which is a waste given that our data sources are all in UTC.

Done.
