Do you really need /view? /core works without X. Else, something a
shell-script like
export DISPLAY=0:0
/home/user/rebol/rebol/home/user/rebol/scripts/myscript.r
You need also access to that display. Don't know much about cron, i guess it
runs as root. so we su:
export DISPLAY=0:0
su display-owner -c /home/user/........
And because i may not be logged in, i have a vnc-server running, which works
as headless X. then the 0:0 must be adjusted of course.
