Does PSA 8.1 comply with energy policy act of 2005 requiring timezone changes in US

[killedar]

Energy Policy act 2005 made changes to start and end date if Day light saving time in US. This is going to take effect on march 11, 2007.

Is plesk 8.1 compliant to make this change effective automatically?

Nobody?

basically I want to know what will happen when daylight saving time starts earlier in march this year in US, do we need to manually change time on servers?

The "off the top of my head" guess is that Plesk isn't responsible for this. The OS version that you are running would determine whether this will change.

You might need to tweak the timezone database on your particular OS to make this work correctly.

If your server is configured correctly using ntpd or the like then your time will get changed as expected. Plesk/swsoft has nothing to do with it.

ntpd not withstanding, you might also need to update your zoneinfo file.

For example, on FreeBSD, the updated files are available at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=zoneinfo&stype=all
