So, what's the purpose of this? I just discovered my RAC Winter contest log is 5 hours off because I put TIME_OFFSET=5 into my logcfg.dat after I came across it in the logcfg.dat example. It has a helpful comment of
#################################
# #
# Time offset from UTC #
# #
#################################
so I figured ... what the heck.
Eastern standard time is 5 hours from UT.
Clearly it was not the right thing to do.
