local-crontab is a Python wheel and command line utility to convert a crontab, in a local timezone, into a set of UTC crontabs. It creates multiple UTC crontabs because of Daylight Saving Time.
This project is based to local-crontab by UnitedIncome with some bug fixes.

I added the possibility to convert a crontab, in a local timezone, into an UTC crontab, but only for hour and day parts. This feature is useful to automate some simple convertions, but it is necessary a "dst check" program (external) to maintain the sync during the year with original local timezone. This feature in not available to online converter.

Use it online!
