Full Discussion: System time and Cron time stamp not matching
Operating Systems Solaris System time and Cron time stamp not matching Post 302629257 by methyl on Tuesday 24th of April 2012 12:31:24 PM

Is the script the same one which you were testing in your previous thread? It messes with the TZ variable:
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...n-count-2.html

What is you normal timezone?

I suspect that the script running from cron is messing with the timezone.
In case your cron is not set up correctly, please try a one-off script run form cron with output redirected to a file and containing these two commands:

Code:
date
set

Then compare the date of the log file with the output from the date command taking into account the value of $TZ .

rdate

rdate(1M)                                                 System Administration Commands                                                 rdate(1M)

NAME

       rdate - set system date from a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       rdate hostname

DESCRIPTION

       rdate sets the local date and time from the hostname given as an argument. You must have the authorization solaris.system.date on the local
       system. Typically, rdate is used in a startup script.

       The inetd daemon responds to rdate requests. To enable inetd response, the lines invoking the time command in inetd.conf must not  be  com-
       mented out.

USAGE

       The rdate command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
