Hi Jonesy,

There's probably a few dozen ways to do a notification.  You saw Darrell’s in 
the prior thread.  This is how I’ve done it from cron for a long time.  I 
won’t say it’s pretty, it’s just the first thing I got working ;)

HTH,

PS:  I believe zenity worked a long time ago and I just replaced it with yad 
after it broke?
#!/bin/bash

### These are in include files named "$IncStdFuncs"

function NotifyBadNews {
  export DISPLAY=:0
  CurrDateTime=$(date +"%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
#   zenity --error --text="An error occurred in $ME\!\n\nNextline\n\nNextline2" --title="$CurrDateTime: Warning\!" &
  yad --on-top --center --width=600 --height=600  --image "dialog-error" --text="An Error occurred in '$ME' \!\n\n$1\n\n$2\n\n$3" --title="Warning! - $CurrDateTime" &
}

if [[  $0 == /* ]] ; then
  ME=`basename $0`
else
  ME='bash'
fi

### This is in the running script

. "$IncStdFuncs"

NotifyBadNewsWhat01='Run as Root'
NotifyBadNewsWhat02='Attempted to run as Root!  This script must not be run as root!'
NotifyBadNews "$NotifyBadNewsWhat01" "$NotifyBadNewsWhat02"
exit 1
