Running Freepbx as www-data

FreePBX
5

Looking at the code I found

 //file: Cron.class.php
public function __construct($var1 = 'asterisk', $var2 = 'asterisk') {
    	// Lets figure out if we were given a FreePBX Object, or a user.
    	if (is_object($var1)) {
    		$this->freepbx = $var1;
    		$user = $var2;
    	} else {
    		$user = $var1;
    	}
    	$this->user = $user;
    	// If we're not root, we can only edit our own cron.
    	if (posix_geteuid() != 0) {
    		$userArray = posix_getpwuid(posix_geteuid());
    		if ($userArray['name'] != $user)
    			throw new Exception("Trying to edit user $user, when I'm running as ".$userArray['name']);
    	} else {
    		$this->uoption = "-u ".$this->user." ";
    	}
    }

setting $var1 to www-data should do the trick but this will break on future updates…
