Hi all, I want to update my wallpaper at time intervals. So, I've set up a crontab: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.bCmoxk/crontab installed on Thu Jan 15 21:07:39 2004) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp # $) 0 * * * * $HOME/bin/wallpaper_rotate $HOME/pics/wallpaper/
wallpaper_rotate is a dirty shell script: #!/bin/sh NEXTFILE=`ls $1 | rl -c 1` wmsetbg $1$NEXTFILE Now that's coding. Anyway, it works. However, cron reports: wmsetbg fatal error: could not open display I guess this is because it is not being run from my X session. Question is, is there anything I can do to get it to work the way that I want? A -- Please don't CC me.
