Here is the > relevant script: Back when I did the BU Linux distribution, we had a similar script, which you can still get from ftp://linst.bu.edu/yum/5.0/source/x86_64/SRPMS/kervercheck-1.0.4-bu50.1.src.rpm You may find this useful. I've been meaning to package this up for Fedora but have never gotten around to it. If someone else would like to, that would be awesome. This script sends by e-mail, and therefore avoids what I think is the problem you have: notify-send attaches to the dbus message bus in your current X session, and jobs run distinct from that. I haven't tried this, and it's been a long time since I've tried anything similar, but I think the steps here http://earlruby.org/2008/08/update-pidgin-status-using-cron/ should help -- it's someone trying to do basically the same thing.
