Its mix of OS Linux, Unix (sun, freebsd) and yes we also have some hardware
of Lucent (MaxTNT) that running thers OS TAOS,

As i said we dont' have this DST before and  its first time government is
implementing it (coz of sever power crises)

So you thinks its not good practice to change system clock with 'date'
command?  by forwarding it by one hour.

I thinks to change it manually will also requires me to disable ntp sync
otherwise machine will correct its time again.

regards.
