cron without login

[lakmalp]

Hi,

I am planning to write a python script which will be executed by a cron job. If I ever happen to switch off/on the Pi, does it require re-login for the script to get executed by cron? I mean does the cron job run without log in?

You do not have to be logged in for cron jobs to run. That is one of the main reasons for using cron

cron jobs run even if you are not logged in
