Good day! AFAIK, all output and error prompts generated by the cron table are sent to the mail of the user by default. Unless you redirect the output somewhere else, you will get your output on your mail. You may try the following line:
1 * * * * /dir/test.scr > /dev/tty7 on your cron table. That way, every minute, the /dir/test.scr command will run and send all its output on /dev/tty7 ( the GUI display (?) ). Test it and tell me if it works. =) PENGUIN POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
