Update cron job docs for time zone considerations #12

Closed geoffharcourt closed 10 years ago

geoffharcourt commented 10 years ago

In discussion of https://github.com/harrystech/cronut/issues/11, it came to light that differences between the server's and user's reference time zone could cause undesired rescheduling behavior when cron jobs were pinged (for example, my server is in UTC, but our time zone for reference is America/New_York). Adding a note about specifying a time zone to the Cron Jobs section of the README.

Close #11.
