DST time skip question

Hi: I have a question about the behavior of cron jobs when the clock
springs forward from 2:00:00AM to 2:59:59AM. What will happen to jobs
scheduled to run between these times - will they be run or will they be
skipped?

Thanks in advance

If I recall correctly, the job owner will receive email in advance
from cron advising that the job will be run at a time other than the
impossible time - at least on reasonably recent versions of SCO Unix,
back to at least some (maybe all?) OSR5 versions.

Reading the man page for crontab would have given you the most precise
answer...
