Sidekiq Enterprise Periodic Jobs and Time Zone

[J B]

Is there any documentation regarding how Sidekick Enterprise Periodic Jobs handle time zones?

I have jobs that I need to run at specified times in different time zones. How is that handled in Sidekiq?

I see a message in this group noting that Sidekiq avoids executing jobs multiple times on Daylight Saving Time changes, and I assume it also makes sure to execute jobs that might be skipped on a change. How is that handled?

Examples (US Eastern):

'30 2 * * *' # Spring change: executes at 3am EDT, Fall change: executes at 2:30am EST

'30 1 * * *' # Spring change: executes at 1:30am EST, Fall change: executes at 1:30am EDT but not at 1:30am EST

Thanks!

Hi Joe, I updated the wiki to discuss timezones.  I don't have a solid answer on DST since I'm not sure myself how it will behave.  The code has no specific logic to deal with DST.
