According to the crontab man page, there should be a crontab file per user, and the tasks will be run as the user who owns the crontab: A crontab file contains instructions to the cron(8) daemon of the general form: "run this command at this time on this date". Each user has their own crontab, and commands in any given crontab will be executed as the user who owns the crontab. > My system is Debian Squeeze, my JACK is 0.121.3 . > My scheduler is anacron This is in the "Disadvantages" paragraph in the Wikipedia description of anacron: Only the system administrator can configure anacron tasks. In contrast, cron allows non-admin users to configure scheduled tasks. Probably you will have to go to the Debian user group to find distribution specific advice, but my first guess is that you could either replace anacron with something like cronie which has the original behavior of allowing per user crontab files, or you could try to make anacron run a shell script, and that shell script executed something like su fsilvain -c "jack_program" -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
