Hello all, I'm having problems getting cron to work as a user. I'm trying to get the progam jac (a command line CD player that does work, btw) to run at specific times to act as an alarm clock. As a user here is my crontab:
38 17 * * * /usr/local/bin/jac -P1 Which should mean that it will play at 5:38 PM. This same crontab installed by root works! Is there some kind of permission thing to allow users to use cron? Btw, is there a user that I can specify in cron that will work without being logged in (in case power goes out and I don't wake up and log back in)? Thanks, David Bellows
