Cron runs as SYSTEM, cron jobs run as administrator

[Sergio Valverde]

Cron is running as SYSTEM. Is it possible to run cron jobs as SYSTEM too,
instead of administrator (id 500)?

ps -ef

     UID     PID    PPID TTY     STIME COMMAND
  SYSTEM   12004       1   ?    Apr 20 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
  SYSTEM   12684   12004   ?    Apr 20 /usr/sbin/sshd
Administ    6068       1 con  11:10:47 /usr/bin/bash
  SYSTEM   11776       1   ?  15:37:59 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
  SYSTEM    1488   11776   ?  15:37:59 /usr/sbin/cron
Administ   16488       1 con  15:38:11 /usr/bin/bash
Administ   16992       1 con  15:38:50 /usr/bin/bash
  SYSTEM    6668    1488   ?  15:40:00 /usr/sbin/cron
Administ   11288    6668   ?  15:40:00 /usr/bin/sh
Administ   11756   16488 con  15:40:00 /usr/bin/ps

process 11288 is a script running as a cron job but UID is Administ (id
500), while PPID 6668 (cron) is UID SYSTEM (id 18).
When I run the same script from command line, it runs as id 10500
(Administrator).
I've already searched the mailing lists.
Any hint?

Thanks,

Sergio Valverde
