Re: Robot Schedule failed across daylight savings time change

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use Robot extensively at several sites.

We have a job scheduled in Robot to end Robot Schedule at 1:58am and
restart it at 2:02am.  It then puts itself on hold for next DST change.

This job is scheduled for Sundays.  Normally it is on hold.  We release 
it sometime during the week before DST although that could be put on a 
calendar so you can spend more time loafing.
