Afternoon,

I am trying to work out a way to get a meassage flashed up on the screen
once an hour to remind me to have a break (rest my eyes!).

I set up a cron job like so:

    echo " Kit Kat" | osd_cat --bottom --offset=500 --color=red
    --delay=20
    --font=-adobe-helvetica-*-*-*-*-300-*-100-100-*-*-iso8859-*

But I get an error saying no display.

    No display
    : Success
    Error initializing osd

I tried using the --display param but it's not recognised by osd_cat.

Any pointers on how I can go about setting the environment correctly so
it will display my reminder?

TIA.
