This makes perfect sense, since the summer time in Greece is GMT+3 and the
winter time is GMT+2. But since the periodic scripts run with respect to 
local time, I'm afraid we can't reach an easy consensus here. Running
periodic at 1:59 am is fine for Greece. If we move it to 3:59 am we will
have a problem. If we move it to 5:59 am I suppose somebody in the timezone
GMT+5 will be in trouble next year. 
Perhaps the crontab entry should be computed by sysinstall when specifying
the timezone?
