Hum, how come the line is commented out (is the "enable" checkbox checked for that entry in Kcron?)?
Yes, it is. I did some editing in the email that might explain the extra #s.
You can also manually take the # out and make sure that it is all on one line. You should also quote the file name since you have spaces, like thus:
"/home/bryce/Documents/Music/Blondie Compilation/shayla.ogg"
I just entered the command exactly as though I were at a console or command line. It worked in kalarm.
Also, are you sure cron is running? What is the output of
ps aux | grep cron

Thanks for your time in helping out. I'm starting to think that beat up old "alarm clock" (???) next to my bed might still be useful. :-) --- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA) brycehdy@sonic.net
