Re: Cron jobs question

[Robert Spiteri <rspiteri01@gmail.com>]

Thanks for your reply. I have created a desktop file to show the trash icon on desktop. I mean that is the way I found it should be done. I need to check /home/user/.local/Trash/files/. If a file exists in it, the icon will change to a full trash icon, otherwise it should be changed again to an empty trash icon.

I have (till now) made a script with a while (true) loop that runs in the background. This way I have eliminated cron.

Is there another way to do it please?

Is this really supposed to be done via cron job? Which folder and how often you
willing to check, (I am just curious)?

Pcmanfm couldn't handle standard gvfs Trash and change icon accordingly?
