Cron Job User

[jollero]

Hello,

Would someone what user is used by the cron when it executes a job? How do we validate what it is?

Regards,

Normaly the same user, where you set up the cronjob. Also important: Better do not run any websites under admin user, create another one.

Thanks for the reply. I almost missed it.

I setup the cronjob using the Vesta interface. The user is root. So I'm guessing the cron job is using root?

Your right that admin users are not a good practice.

Where do you have the cronjob created, on ssh/command line? If yes, please use the vestacp backend to create the cronjob!
