One big problem is that a process running from cron can't directly access your X server so it can't send GUI notices. I think you're going to need to create some kind of server (running in your X sessions when you start them) and client (running from cron) which tries to notify the server and handles the shutdown process. -- Rich Pieri _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
