How to launch gui app from cron
Hi all, Win2kSP4, cygwin1-20040527.dll snapshot I've added something like this via crontab -e: 0 11 * * * C:/WINNT/system32/dllcache/iexplore.exe That does start iexplore.exe (I can find process in Task Manager), however it does not show its window on desktop. How can I start win app from cron, so that gui is visible?

How can I start win app from cron, so that gui is visible? I would register cron as a service with option -i, or --interactive (Allow service to interact with the desktop).
