I suspect, that > cron doesn't use the user, who defined the task to be run? This may not be because of a different user but down to the fact that cron runs under a more limited environment - eg. limited path, environment variables not set, no X, etc. ie. http://serverfault.com/questions/337631/crontab-execution-doesnt-have-the-same-environment-variables-as-executing-user I had some fun setting up an interactive audio installation some time ago that ran off cron(*) in a shed for 4 years ... *in fact, may have given up and used another solution in the end .. can't remember .. had a sleep since then ;-) Good luck with it!
