Original inquiry attached. This problem was repeated on another
system last week and ceased to occur on both systems this week.
PolyCenter Scheduler has a bug in handling the "Spring forward"
time change. The problem apparently starts a week prior to
the Sunday change to daylight savings time and affects only
jobs scheduled for the 2am to 3am window. We saw no problems
with the Fall change back to standard time.
We saw a similar problem last year reported to Digital as C960401-5825,
but the cause was never isolated.... now it is. Regards, k

>>We also noticed another job had been running repeatedly since Monday
>>3/31, changing it's schedule from 'd 2:00' to 'd 1:59' fixed it.
