a regular user also. That's how I wake up in the morning with a cron job to play a song at 7 AM except on my two days off. But I have to make sure the box is logged in as me overnight, or (again I'm guessing here, I'm no expert) it won't go off.
No, your job will run regardless of whom, if any, is logged in. However, it might not have access to the sound device if somebody else is logged in. That's why in this case I would use a root cronjob. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
