Hello, I was considering adding an entry in crontab for automated synchronization of files across two machines that I work on most frequently. One machine is at work, while the other at home. I used ssh-keygen so that I am able to be auto-authenicated to the machine at work from home. I want to run a cron job that runs at home to update the a list of files (from home->work if the most recent file is the one at home, or vice-versa.)
I was particularly concerned about whether rysnc/rcp would be able use the authorized-key values from my $HOME (which is non-root) to be able to login to the remote machine. Do cron jobs run as root or can they be run for particular users as well? All ideas/inputs are appreciated.
