Quartz.NET and Daylight Savings Time

Viewed 11

I need help understanding how daylight savings time and daily standard time will affect our jobs.

The docs say that CRON schedules will run at the same time of day regardless of daylight savings time. "CronTrigger allows you to schedule jobs to fire at certain moments with respect to a "gregorian calendar". Hence, if you create a trigger to fire every day at 10:00 am, before and after daylight savings time switches it will continue to do so."

The docs don't mention how DST affects WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule.

What I don't understand with either CRON or WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule is: If I schedule a job to run at 10:00 AM UTC, which is 6:00 AM EST half of the year, but is 5:00 AM EST the other half, won't my schedule run at these different EST hours depending on whether we are in Daily Time versus Standard Time?

Or do we need to save them with the TimeZonedID that we want to run them in (like "Eastern Standard Time")?

I realize this isn't a quartz specific question. Just trying to get some help understanding this.

Thanks, Brent
