Small question about a cronjob

Hi guyz,
I was wondering... Am not too familiar with cronjobs so I use the DA cronjob possibility...

I've got a little problem.. I've got a reseller package and I created a few users, but I didn't give cronjobs to any of them, because I want the crons for my resellers to run under my administrator account... And that's where my problem is....

If I set up a cronjob for a reseller under the administrator account then it doesn't work, however if I give my reseller users cronjobs and add the exact same cronjob there then it runs without any problems...

So my question: Is it possible to create cronjobs under the DA administrator account for resellers... I thought since you are the administrator then a cronjob should run because i'm an administrator...

I run Debian Linux Sarge..

Thanks for any help...

Administrator accounts have no special privileges in linux. You may need to set up the cronjobs manuallly as root. You can set them up to run in the user cron-space, as the user, but they'll have to be done from the command line as root.

Could DA be changed to allow the admin to set up a user cronjob? Yes; perhaps you should suggest this as a new feature.

Note that if you've set the user/reseller to manage his/her own cronjobs, the cronjobs you set up WILL appear in the user interface.

Note also I haven't tried this so I don't know if setting up a user cronjob as root will override the setting to not allow the user to manage his/her own cronjobs, but I know theyll work.
