--> By default, the timestamps on log lines are in local time
--> without the timezone. This means that if your timezone
--> changes twice a year, the timestamps in log lines are
--> ambiguous for an hour when the clocks go back. One way of
--> avoiding this problem is to set the timezone to UTC. An
--> alternative is to set log_timezone true. This turns on the
--> addition of the timezone offset to timestamps in log lines.
--> Turning on this option can add quite a lot to the size of
--> log files because each line is extended by 6 characters.
Basically, just add the line
log_timezone
to the general part of your config file and you'll get this
2005-10-03 14:19:14 +0100 End queue run: pid=17826
instead of this
2005-10-03 14:19:14 End queue run: pid=17826
in the log file.
