If your platform (OS) is setup correclty for DST, TSM handles correctly.
If you have a schedule that starts at 2:30am, then in most cases
it should have a "1 Hour Duration" as minimum. All my schedules
have a 3 hour duration. Then when it is suddenly 3am, the
schedules between 2 and 3 am will run at some point as they
are still in the "duration" window.
In the Fall when we "fall back" a schedule between 2 and 3 will
not run twice.
I have never had a DST problem related to schedules.
(There was some TSM problem with DST a few years back,
I think around version 4.x, don't remember the specifics though.)
I remember a few years back having a time zone map of Indiana as
I was with company that had systems in a handfull of states
- including Arizona and Indiana. Now if Arizona and Hawaii will
get on board, us Sys Admins can rest "a little" easier!

How do you folks out there handle the fact that in the spring forward, there is
no hour between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m.?
Being in Indiana, we are now dealing with this for the first time in around 40
years.
Thanks for any suggestions.
