have you tried running crontab as game1?

i am guessing you aren't seeing as you are using su? and i am also going to guess game1 needs a password?

Log in as user game1 and run crontab -e. Or use system crontab (where you can set user).

Maybe it helps with a pair of double-quotes? As in:

Code: Select all

06 1 * * * su - game1 -c "/home/game1/game restart" > /dev/null 2>&1

Better yet put the calling commands in a shell script, make it executable - chmod 775, and have cron call the script. The permissions then could be changed as needed. may need to add the user to the game's group. or the other way around.
