| Jan 26 at 8:28 | comment | added | Clint William Theron | I'm in South Africa. Our zone is GMT+2. The cron job is working now. I don't know why it's working correctly now and it even uses my time. I created a cron job with command service crond restart. Could that be it? I'm not sure if it did execute - I'm not sure if I can run commands like that in a cron job. All I know, for sure, is that I can call a script in the cron job command. zoneDateTime and systemDateTime comes from php code. You can see that in my Update Note. | |

"How do I see what timezone crontab is configured to use?" - something else that's troubling me. In the image you've posted there's a zoneDateTime and a systemDateTime. (a) which one has the correct time for you, (b) which country are you in?

"Where do I execute that command" - in a shell - in a terminal session. (It will fail under cron because % is a special character there)

| Jan 26 at 0:42 | comment | added | Clint William Theron | Your first comment is helpful. Where do I execute that command? I tried in cronjob and got email with: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file. | |

What does the following command produce on your system, please: date; date +'%Z %z'; date --utc. I'm also wondering what timezone your crontab is configured to use

Note that although it doesn't address your pre-start concern, * 22-23 * * * is actually two hours and should run from 22:00 to 23:59 inclusive
