Hello gang, anyone ever come across this?
I have written a small script that will check a condition. If the
condition check fails, it is supposed to produce a window in KDE that
produces a message based on the condition response. This way I am
alerted to the situation. I can run the script fine from the shell.
However, I do not get a window when running it from cron. I have tried
to use suid to run the script as me, but when running the script as
another user it fails to connect to 0:0 due to security. Temporarily I
can bypass that security by allowing another user to connect to my
x-server, but I don't think I can do this from cron.
Any ideas?
