00 10 * * * TZ=Asia/Dhaka; wget http://www.example.com/function

00 10 * * * export TZ=Asia/Dhaka; /usr/bin/curl "http://www.example.com/function"

Always those command executing on others timezone maybe UTC timezone but i need Asia/Dhaka timezone UTC +6:00.

Answer 1

If you're using PHP, you can figure out both what time is it at your server and in what timezone you're at:

echo date('c');

It'll output something like:

2017-08-15T02:40:09+00:00

The above answers didn't help me, they both gave me the date / time for the domain, but not for cron job. What helped me to determine the cron job schedule is:

1. Take your IP address from cpanel
2. Google where it's located by searching IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
3. Google time in that city / country
4. You have determined your timezone

I had the exact same issue, and this solution worked perfectly for me. The server showed UTC as timezone in phpinfo(), but the cron timezone turned out to be UTC-7, based on my cronjob tests. Thank you very much! – Haywire

Yeah it's a tricky one, no clear documentation. Glad to help, thanks for voting up – Kaminski

C-Panel cron job manager does not show the current time at the server. When account is set up, it is done on a specific server that resides in a specific timezone. You need to find out what that timezone is and then set the schedule based on that timezone. You can run a

echo date("D M d, g:i A", time()) 

function in php to tell you. Then set your schedule.
