I'd like to set up a statement in crontab that will open a terminal and display a message. I've been using cron for backups and log rotation and have the format down, I'm just unable to figure out how to open a window from within cron. Just an idea. You could start an xterm. I haven't played with it, but it should be able to work. The other trick is to post a message to it. You could execute a script that echos a message: xterm -e msgsender.sh
