Here is what I tried in my crontab -e: 0 * * * * maitra DISPLAY=:0.0 $HOME/scripts/yum/check-kernel.sh (maitra is my username). Here is how I changed my check-kernel.sh, though I am not sure if there was a problem with the earlier one.... $more check-kernel.sh #!/bin/bash # from http://goo.gl/Mqq6UP latestkernel=$(rpm -q kernel |tail -n1|sed -e 's/kernel-//') #echo "$latestkernel" if uname -a | grep -qv "$latestkernel"; then notify-send "Kernel UPDATE on ${HOSTNAME}: " \ "<b><i>Running</i></b> kernel is <b><i>$(uname -r | awk '{gsub(/*PAE/,""); print}')</i></b> but <b>latest</b> <b><u>installed</u></b> is <b><u>${latestkernel}</u></b> required <b><u>REBOOT</u></b>" fi; How do you get yours to work? (Works fine from the commandline, of course.) Btw, FWIW, I am using dunst.
