Can anyone help me sort this cron problem out please? If I run
'/usr/bin/bittorrent' from the command line it works okay and launches my
bittorrent gui. But if I run '5 23 * * * /usr/bin/bittorrent' as a cron-job
it fails and I get this error message ;-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 30, in ?
import gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py", line 37, in ?
RuntimeError: could not open display
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, is it a coding problem, or a cron problem? And can anyone suggest a
workaround for me please?
Hopefully thanks
Sharon.
