Timezones and DST

Timezone selection affects previewed next runs in LoopTapper. Cron syntax itself is timezone-agnostic.

What timezone means here

  • Timezone changes only the calculated preview times in this tool.
  • You must set timezone again in your real scheduler when configuring jobs.
  • Use IANA timezone names such as Europe/Berlin or America/New_York.

DST behavior

  • Some local times do not exist on spring-forward transitions.
  • Some local times occur twice on fall-back transitions.
  • Always review next runs around DST change dates.

Example

The same cron can yield different preview timestamps when timezone changes from UTC to Europe/Berlin.
