I have setup all of my cron jobs and for some strange reason they are all running 1 hour off. Such as, I setup a cron to run at midnight every night - instead it runs at 1:00am every night. This is happening with every cron job setup.

I have checked my "Server Time" through cPanel and it is set correctly.

I know, at least my crons are running, but it is a very big nuisance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems people with CPanel are having this problem... I don't have cpanel and nobody has been able to confirm to me if this works, but it sounds like you have a clock on standard time, and one on daylight savings... You have two clocks, a hardware (motherboard) and a system (operating system)... Try syncing them to see if that fixes it... PLEASE let me know if it does, because this seems to be getting more and more common.

Jeremy,

Arg! I tried running the above commands and still the crons are running one hour off. As I said before, the time in cPanel is correct, and was correct after I ran the commands you suggested.

Still... nothing has changed.

after running the above commands, restart the cron service.

service crond restart
