How can I give my customer access to crontab ?

you can't. Only the root can access crontab.

uhh, no.

as the user type "crontab -e" to begin editing it. Any stock RedHat distro allows all users to have their own crontab. "crontab -l" displays it.

Any alternative to let them access crontab without using telnet in Raq3 ?

You could always find/write a script that does the job.

You can let them make a script (in my case a php file) and execute it everyday/week/etc..
If the customers wants to put more in it he can simply edit the script in his directory.

If you did this, the script would be executed as root.

Unless, you set it up under their username.

Hm that's really stupid what I said :cool:
Luckilly I have only one trusted other user on my server and he doesn't even know he has root access this way. I'm going to change this a.s.a.p.
Thanks brandonk.
