[mythtv-users] daylight savings time

[Ken VanDine]

I am not sure how this will respond.  I do know that a couple months ago I tried
using ntpdate to adjust the system clock and it caused mythbackend to die.  No
idea why, it just simply stopped.  It wasn't even recording anything.  I haven't
tried lately.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have been running ntpdate while myth
isn't running periodically since I had problems.
