cron and kmessage
My actual problem is that I want to display a message at specific times (every
0th, 30th minute of hour) on the user's screen. I thought I can do this with
cron and kmessage.
I edited the crontab entry as
0,30 * * * * kdialog --msgbox "test message"
But then it does not display the dialog on the screen. Instead it sends an
email to the user's address with the following message
kdialog: cannot connect to X server
How can I solve this problem?
I also had a look at korganizer, but it can only repeat tasks on a day-by-day
basis, not on a minute-by-minute basis. Is there any other way?
Using Debian, Sid.
thanks
