Possibly a trivial question. I want to run a cron job as a user on my system. Once the job has completed I need root privileges to power the system down. I don't mind if the script has to run as a root cron job, but running the processing as a user will prevent against filling a partition. Can this be done without running two different cron jobs?. thanks Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
