Ooookkaaaayy. If thats true, why can't cron do it?
Wheezy gets more and more confused. Or I do, but I like the former argument lots better. :) Saves face at my age yadda yadda.
because the command has to run on that X session to be effective, cron is not running on the X session, it's running in the background not connected to any X session.
