And even if the system is behind time, it can cause problems. cronjobs |
| 15 |
running unexpectedly close to each other (or missed cronjobs in extreme |
| 16 |
cases). User sessions expiring early, etc. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
And even if there is only one second, and that is known well ahead (e.g. leap |
| 19 |
seconds): Unless you know that there isn't going to be a problem, a great |
| 20 |
deal of care needs to go into handling that. |
