Thanks. This is helpful. I have a followup question: I want to schedule a zenity command via cron as root to have a window appear every 30 minutes for any user who may be loggeg in. When trying this I get the cron error: X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root> (zenity:6093): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Do you know how to solve this?
