One possibility would be to use `su -c` in your script in

Yeah, that is what I was investigating before, but because the user in
question (apache) does not have a shell that doesn't seem to work so
well, maybe you can override this again, but that would not make stuff
any cleaner.
I solved it now by placing a file in /etc/cron.d and also using the
RANDOM_DELAY option there.
