why do you not simply place your cronjobs in/etc/cron.d/?
i maintain a lot of servers with tons of cronjobs running as different users and never in my life called the contab-command

also take a look at anacrontab normally you have there a line for daily jobs
touch /etc/cron.daily/mycronjob.sh chmod 700 /etc/cron.daily/mycronjob.sh
and in this file place a shebang and su -c 'whatever' user
there are millions of ways for cronjobs and all of them can be done by any ordinary text-editor _______________________
