If you can run it from the terminal then you can try writing an expect script to automate your actions. "Let ye without segmentation fault cast the first int!"

My dialer is kppp, this works great normally, but I am running into problems with having it run automatically. First I tried to get cron to run kppp, but kppp is not running and I get e-mails from cron with the error "kppp: cannot connect to X server" Then I tried to get mythtv to do it. On the setup screen where you can automate mythfilldatabase, I changed the path to /usr/bin/kppp I then changed the arguments such that it will run a specific profile to update the show database and then close the connection. It is running it, but kppp gives the error "kppp: cannot connect to X server" again (in the log file I set up). I can't figure out how to get this to work. I think I am running kppp as the regular user, mythtv is always running as so is X. I can do everything in a terminal window, but nowhere else. How can I fix this, running mythfilldatabase by hand is time consuming. Thank you, Beny "We are the Dyslexia of Borg. Your ass will be laminated.
