I'd agree this is a usability issue, where the "Run selected task"
option should fail gracefully with a clear indication on what to do.
Can someone also reproduce this in Maverick ?

Back to the original problem, as reported in post #3 and #7. The fact is that
in many cases, we can successfully test a task by clicking "Run selected task",
but then, in real life it won't run.
Two main technical reasons:
1) The test is PATH-aware, the real task (using cron) is not

Hey,
Thanks- did you try adding:

manually to your crontab and see if ~/test shows up ?

OK, I learned how to use cron and something must be broken outside of
gnome-schedule. So it is certainly not a bug with you guys.

I'm having trouble too. I have looked at Gaute's link and was able to
get at and cron to execute the test functions.

The command is /usr/bin/grsync -e "default". It is scheduled to run daily and
is using the X application option.

Great! Yeah the first url is broken - the latest one from #8 is the

Gaute,
Thank you for your clue that I need to set this script as an "X
application" in the set up of the task. That is EXACTLY what I had done
wrong.
Just to let you know: your url you posted is broken...
Thank you for this great program.

Hello,
What version of Gnome-schedule is this ?
Make sure you use the complete path to the script, ie not ~, but:
/home/john/script
Does the script have the executable bit set (+x)?
For any of the above problems; if what you are trying to run, in John's
case: grsync, is an graphical application
I'm having the same problem on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04.
I've been trying to get gnome-schedule to perform an automatic backup
for me using grsync. However, gnome-schedule will not initiate any
scheduled commands.
First, I wrote a script and tried to have gnome-schedule run it. I named

Hello there,
i want to confirm this bug for the above mentioned version- starting my
graphical app. via "Run Task" button works, but at the set up time it doesn't
do it automatically.

Fixing the PATH variable would require major change in the way we handle
crontab tasks. And I will spend my time fixing the other bugs and
planned features rather than reimplementing this. If you or anyone else
want to do some work on this I would be happy to support it, and include
it if it turns
As for the PATH thing - I think it should be fixed, I'd maybe understand
if it didn't look at PATH at all, but it does as if I press a "Run tab"
button it runs OK... There's a bit of inconsistency here.

Yes, it's correctly set up (I have a slight different permissions, but I
believe that's ok). The attached example works.
I realised that for some ways it doesn't honour my PATH value. If I
enter a full path of the file, it's ok.
Unfortunately, any graphical application doesn't work with that, is
