[cobalt-users] Running crons from a script?

["Owen Lees" <owen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or more simply...

Has anyone had any thoughts about running a job normally done by cron as a
line in a script?

My requirement is to run a webalizer run for my virtual servers from their
directories so that they can generate their own stats when they want rather
than make the server work overtime every day on churning stats for 60 sites.

So I thought that maybe a simple page which allows the user to generate
their stats by clicking a link.

Of course - now I figure that only root can access the log files or run
webalizer from /usr/local blah blah..

Is it normally accepted that this kind of job is done cron-wise? (And I am
as usual well off the beaten track?)

Thoughts (apart from the obvious ones!)
