[Dart] nightly builds fall behind

Hi Dave,
It's a really good question actually. All times for Dart may be
expressed as UTC (I for one would prefer it), but local users are
welcome to express these times in their local time zone. Since UTC is a
fixed time, it doesn't obey silly daylight savings rules which can lead
to sudden switching of your dashboard to time from 10:00pm to 11:00pm.
If the time is expressed in the local time, without time zone, the
dashboard keeps the 10:00pm end time regardless of daylight savings
(switch between EST and EDT).
All times that come out of Dart in the archive files are UTC and the
Dart2 format expressly requires UTC times.

I know there are no "stupid" questions, but this sure seems like
one: why aren't all times for Dart expressed as UTC? Seems like most
projects I've heard that are using Dart have contributors spread all
around the world...
Just curious,
Dave

Tobias,
This is exactly why we hate daylight savings around
here. Glad you figured it out! If it's all the same to you, it might
be a good idea to separate Dart's idea of start time and your cron job
by 1.5 hours. Then you (almost) never have to worry.

To answer my own question:
It had to do with the daylight savings.
NIGHTLY_START_TIME "04:00:00 EAST"
(in DartConfig.cmake) maps to 5am in summer (the
timestamp field on the webpage
http://129.78.210.237:8081/orca2/Dashboard/ shows 5am which I hadn't
noticed). The cronjob ran at 4.15am before, so results got submitted to
the day before. I moved it to 5.15am and it works now.
