cPanel crond datetime different?

[ivan levente]

Hello,

I've recently acquired a dedicated server and change it's default timezone from NewYork to Europe/Bucharest. Changed in both WHM server time settings and PHP configuration settings.
Everything changed accordingly except cronjob timestamps (saw this in /var/log/cron) which is still in the NewYork timezone for some reason. I tried restarting crond but still the same.

Anyone could shed some light on this? Thank you.

Hello,

Does your hardware clock match the same time zone? EX:

hwclock

If not, you may need to sync it via:

hwclock --systohc --localtime

Thank you.

Fixed it with the following:

/etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
/etc/init.d/crond restart

Seems the rsyslog and crond have problems adapting to server time-zone changes.
The restart did the trick, but only when restarted them both.
