I've rescheduled the periodic jobs in crontab so that they run when the machine is on. My question is can I reschedule the adjkerntz job as well, without causing any problems? I'm concerned because the job is set to run 12 times during night time, and I'm thinking that maybe it's a resource hog and therefore it's not advisible to run it when one uses the machine? # Adjust the time zone if the CMOS clock keeps local time, as opposed to # UTC time.
