Re: [Plug] docs on /etc/crontab?
|
This is from the top of the Debian /etc/crontab file.
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do.
The user field is right after periodic schedule fields like:
# min hour dom mon dow user command
25 1 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts \ --report
/etc/cron.daily
As you can see the only difference is the user field in this file.
Have a good day
