OT launching /View script via cron
[1/4] from: carloslorenz::rebolbrasil::nobrenet::com at: 6-Jul-2004 15:36
Hi list
I would appreciate any help on this:
I want to use CRON in order to wake up a /View script every 15 minutes
Using crontab -e I have entered the following
0,15,30,45 * * * * /home/user/rebol/rebol /home/user/rebol/scripts/myscript.r
Tough cron executes the job nothing happens and and I got the following email:
** User Error: REBOL: Cannot connect to X server
** Near: size: size-text self
all [
para para/origin size: size + para/origin
para/margin size: size + para/margin
]
thanks

Looks like REBOL isn't talking to X Windows properly. Can you launch the
script manually?
Enjoy!!

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.
