user can exec the xset, in his crontab, its 100% failure

[Gene Heskett <gheskett@wdtv.com>]

Greetings;

Running a wheezy based linux here.

While I as a user can use xset to remind the system of the monitors dpms 
controls, an identical entry in my crontab results in an email that it 
could not open my 0:0 display.

So I cannot "script" this reminder.

And X forgets all this stuff long before uptime has reached 2 weeks. So I 
figured an hourly reminder in my crontab should to the trick.

Is there any way around this PIMA?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
