Hello all,

Is there a way to specify the time zone for a cron like worker ?, I know  
that you can specify the time zone for some workers, but what about for  
workers that run with a cron like sentence ? I would like to use my  
current  
time zone, but the server is using the local server time zone to run the  
cron like workers, thanks in advance…
