Hi, friends... __{{emoticon}}__

I am running AntiX-13.2 on desktop PC with Intel Pentium 4 1.7 GHz processor, Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 graphics, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB swap and 13 GB HD.

I am have a problem with crontab. I am running a bash script from user's crontab but no effect, although cron daemon execute the assigned cronjob.

For test the crontab problem, I used two scripts that I known well function it. These scripts show a systray icon for layout keyboard used.

The first script (xkblayout_indicator.sh) use yad --notification for create the systray icon. Then, when click on icon, the second script (sp_chr-xkb.sh) is executed, showing a dialog box with the layout keyboard. Below are screenshots:

first:
xkblayout_indicator.sh bash script, located in $HOME directory:


second:
sp_chr-xkb.sh bash script, located in /usr/local/bin directory:


When xkblayout_indicator.sh bash script is executed from terminal, result:


This discard that script is not source problem.


But after add the path to script in user's crontab file:



and system reboot, no generate systray icon:


The permission of second script are well:


Here the antixers (sudoers file) in / etc/sudoers.d directory:


My user is added to crontab group: I tried execute these scripts with gnome-scheduler and same result.

I searched on the internet but no I have not found solution.
I wait that you can help me..!

Thank you for read.

Cronjobs that evoke graphical apps usually need to be told what display to use.

Try adding the line at the top of your script (of course not before the #!/bin/bash though).

Alternativly specifying the display within the crontab might work too:

Hi reverseDog. Thanks for reply.

Is true; that line was missing... I added to within the crontab and work fine.

Thank you very much.

I terminate this topic.
