switching timezone within crontab?

[Danny Howard]

Hey,

So, we have systems running in Eastern and Pacific time zones as their
local time, not to mention DST.  So, we like to schedule a few things
with UTC to save our sanity.

If a system is not running UTC as its locale, but I want to schedule a
UTC cron job in crontab, is it sufficient to put a little:
TZ=UTC
Right before the job?

I will of course discover this by trial-and-error, but it is nicer to
hear from someone who has wrestled with this before. :)

http://widell.fulhack.nu/bd/dst/ is fun, but dated.

Thanks,
-danny
