So, basically, then have the following in ~/bin/export_x_info: #!/bin/bash # Export the dbus session address on startup so it can be used by cron env | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS > $HOME/.Xdbus chmod 600 $HOME/.Xdbus echo 'export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' >> $HOME/.Xdbus # Export XAUTHORITY value on startup so it can be used by cron env | grep XAUTHORITY >> $HOME/.Xdbus echo 'export XAUTHORITY' >> $HOME/.Xdbus Thanks, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.
