Hi,
I have an imac webserving running 10.2.6. I usually leave it at the login screen so as to not consume system resources and such. Is there a way I can run cron jobs even in this state? Would I just attatch them to root's cron?

thanks,
gabe

Cron jobs will run whether or not the user is logged in. Running the job as root isn't neccessary.
