[X Newbies] Does cron do its work if the CPU is sleeping

[Mark Des Cotes]

I understand that the Cron tasks don't run if the computer is asleep. 
But do they still run if the user is logged out? (computer left at the 
login screen) Also, if there are multiple users on one machine do the 
cron tasks only affect the currently logged on user? or do the Cron 
tasks take care of the entire machine (all users)?
