Bob -- ...and then Bob Williams said... % % Yes, I think that's what I'm going to do. Though I can report that % adding the line % % export DISPLAY=:0.0 % % to my script did make it work in the cron Hmmm... And did you try that when not logged in or when logged in as some other user? If "bob" owns the display, then when "bob" runs a cron job specifying that display it will probably work, but when, say, "root" owns the display then "bob" will not be allowed to connect. Better to go with a .profile or a plasma/kde startup script to cache your desired info. But this is good experience for you :-) HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
