Now I am bumfuzzled.
I put those 2 commands in MY crontab since I can issue them without
any errors.
But my crontab can't issue them.
From an email I see this morning:
Cron <gene@coyote> /opt/trinity/bin/dcop kmail KMailIface
resumeBackgroundJobs
From: Cron Daemon <root(a)coyote.coyote.den>
To: gene(a)coyote.coyote.den
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!
Two questions. And I'm starting to get pissed:
Why the hell is MY crontab sending me mail from root(a)coyote.den
And if I can do it, why the hell can't MY crontab do it?
Thanks for any enlightenment.
No crontab knows about your $DISPLAY ;) . Check your display and add
a line like I listed earlier. AFAIK all email from crontabs send from root? (Well
all my servers
do, but check with someone who knows the guts of cron better than I.)
I cannot setuid or seteuid, crontabs error checking says that a bad
minute error. Do obviously that isn't how its done. Tomas was good
enough to dig up some dcop docs but it appears that I'll have to write a
script to wrap those commands up after setting up an env and registering
with dcop each and every time I want to automate this. Docs by doxygen
are best described as contaminated by excess verbiage. Hopefully I can
find something usable.
Thanks Michael.
Best,
Michael
