OK, I fiddled around with this, and here's what I got so far.
1) In an open GNOME session, when I launch GNOME terminal and type this:
$ zenity --info --text "Warning message!"
... I get exactly what I want.
2) When I put this line in a bash script (/usr/local/sbin/warning.sh)
and launch it from within Gnome Terminal, I get the same result (as
expected).
3) But when I add it to crontab like this :
# crontab -e
15 22 * * * /usr/local/sbin/warning.sh
... nothing happens at the given time (10:15 PM).
Any idea what's wrong here?
