I have created a web application in which I'm using sails.js framework and mongodb for back-end purpose. I want to implement a cron job running at midnight of each day so that I can calculate previous day's power consumption of a property. This data has to be used for reporting purpose.
The cron job has to run w.r.t properties location, i.e, if 2 properties are located at different time zones, I have to run the job when midnight occurs for each time zone.

So you have to set your cron job to run at specific local time that is midnight in other timezone. I don't think current cron implementations handles time-zones for you. – Puchacz Mar 20 '17 at 07:30

@Puchacz Exactly. Is there an module or package to do so. I can resolve this for single time-zone, but the problem arises when the clients are in multiple time-zones. – Chetanraj Mar 21 '17 at 17:28

can't you run 2 cron expressions for specific timezones separately? One for T.Z A and second for T.Z B? – Puchacz Mar 21 '17 at 20:37

@Puchacz no,it's about just 2 time-zones... if the clients are in more than 3 or 4 TZs, I have trigger the job jobs based on them. – Chetanraj Mar 22 '17 at 06:06
