Admin Cron Job

[existenz]

It would be nice is the admin could run sudo Cron Jobs. I was adding cvsup to the cron today on a box and it would be nice to add things via the GUI for some less experienced admins?

Hello,

I can see a bit of a security risk including it as default.. but you can just add the required lines to the /etc/sudoers file and then add the cron through DA.

True that could be a issue.

Yea that would not be a good idea.

Its a nice idea but a bad idea. I did't really think about it before I said it. It could be a security risk...keep in mind that DA is for hosting WEBSITE not administration of a server :D

[ProHS]

Yea, very true.

Just keep in mind that any user can run just about any cron job I tried. I have a user running a cron job to do csvsup nightly ;)
