At the very least, you need to set DISPLAY to :0 , as cron jobs have a really limited set of environment variables. The cron job also must be running as the user who's currently using the X Display. Or you could just do "xhost +local:", though that will cause paranoid people to have a cow. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
