Summary

0007931: Automatic Backup Fails in certain timezones

Description

This bit of code in /usr/clearos/apps/remote_backup/deploy/rbs_include.php

$tz_abrv = 'UTC';
$tz_offs = 0;
$ph = popen('/bin/date \'+%Z*%z\'', 'r');
if (is_resource($ph)) {
    $buffer = chop(fgets($ph, 4096));
    if (pclose($ph) == 0)
        list($tz_abrv, $tz_offs) = explode('*', $buffer);
}
$tz_name = timezone_name_from_abbr($tz_abrv, $tz_offs * 36);
if (@date_default_timezone_set($tz_name)) return;
if (date_default_timezone_set('UTC')) return;

returns an empty string for tz_name when the 'date' command returned is:

[root@gateway tmp]# date
Sat Apr 2 19:04:46 AEDT 2016

And when this happens, the auto start of the window never triggers.

Need a more reliable way of getting TZ or handle case where tz_name is empty.
