Can someone tell me how I can su as the aspseek user to start the index process via a cron job.
I'm just not sure how to call up index as the aspseek user within a script. I can't seem to find that information anywhere.
See man crontab(5). The format of the system-wide (not per-user) crontab has a user name as a sixth field (usually it is 'root') - this is what you need to change to 'aspseek'.
An alternative solution is to use crontab for 'aspseek' user; see man crontab(1) for details.
