Package: libnotify-bin
Version: 0.7.6-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I tried to use the notify-send with the CRON scheduler.
Like this:
27 15 * * * szg notify-send "Message text" -t 10000
The command works in terminal. From logfiles, the cron runs the command in
time, but the message does not appear.

That's not a bug in notify-send.
It needs access to your (D-Bus) user session. Running that from a system
service does not give you access to the user session, unless you do some
dirty tricks, which I'm not going to mention here.
