Re: [SLE] start X app from cron

23 Nov 2005


      ...
I seem to have gone brain dead, maybe normal...  I cannot start an X
app from cron.  All my efforts have presented: cannot connect to X server
ie: /opt/kde3/bin/kstart --desktop 4 /usr/bin/smtm.
    results in an email: kstart: cannot connect to X server
not a problem with smtm, a perl/Tk app.
ie: /usr/bin/smtm
    works

are you running the cron task as your login user? i.e. is xhosts disallowing
