[HowTo] Cron for customers

[aseques]

I am using a modified version of this cron, since I allow only my users to use php scripts, I scan their /var/www/virtual/domain.com/cron/daily/ and run whatever php script they have in there with their own permissions.
So far I haven't had the need to allow them to change crontab frequency.

CRON_BASE_DIR=/var/www/virtual/
CRON_BASE_PERM=/var/www/virtual/
MODE=daily

if [ "$1" == "exec" ]; then
if [ ! -f "$2" ]; then
exit 1
fi

owner="$( echo $2 | sed "s^\($CRON_BASE_PERM[^/]\+\).*^\1^g" )"
owner="$( stat -c %U "$owner" )"
base="$( dirname $2 )"
cwd="$( pwd )"
cd "$base"
sudo -u $owner "php" "$2"
cd "$cwd"
exit 0
fi

find "$CRON_BASE_DIR" -regex ".*\/\(cron/$MODE\)\/.*" -type f -perm /0111 -exec $0 exec '{}' \;
