No, that sets the timezone passed to the task invoked bt cron; not the
timezone cron uses to schedule tasks.
>From man crontab:
LIMITATIONS:
The cron daemon runs with a defined timezone. It currently does not
support per-user timezones. All the tasks: system's and user's will be
run based on the configured timezone. Even if a user specifies the TZ
environment variable in his crontab this will affect only the commands
executed in the crontab, not the execution of the crontab tasks themselves.
Thanks, anyway, for the suggestion.
