Set cron jobs as root user

[m_davaee]

Hi,

I need to set cron jobs which run as root user. How can i do this?

Login as root via SSH or login as a user (or admin) in SSH and su to root.
Then you can via:

crontab -e

You can also login to SSH as a user and then:

sudo crontab -e

you do need the root password.

You can also use /etc/crontab or cron.daily or one of the others, depending on what you want.
You need crontabs to be installed, on Centos:

yum install crontabs

if not present yet.
