(I'm not sure about that "root" in creecode's version. Editing crontab with crontab -e on a linux box has no user specification because it edits the crontab of the invoking user. Perhaps it's different for a directly edited root crontab.)
The system-wide /etc/crontab is different to individual user crontabs (including root's) - the former has an extra user field, so the sysadmin can declare things to run under different users, without
touching the per-user - and user-editable - crontabs. crontabs also support direct environment variable declarations, so for simple things you can just also stick in a DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=blah.settings PYTHONPATH=/some/python/stuff:/even/more/python/stuff See also "man 5 crontab" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
