> I set up a system backup job to run gnome-schedule 2.3 as root with Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. It did not run as expected, so from a terminal window, I opened gnome-schedule as root, and tested it by selecting the task and running it with the "run selected task" button. After the "Are you sure..." and "Note about working directory..." messages, it displayed a box saying "Please select a task!", even though a task was clearly selected. The error message shown in the terminal window was "local variable 'execute' referenced before assignment". Subsequent attempts to repeat the test without exiting the gnome-schedule window displayed 'POSIXLY_CORRECT' in the terminal window. Thanks, the test run should be fixed in git. If you want you can test it simply by replacing mainWindow.py from: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-schedule/tree/src. Or by running directly from git: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-schedule/tree/README I am not sure what the issue is with the cron job though. Maybe you'll figure it out once the test run works.
