Tomas(a)tuxstream.de dug up the docs for dcop at the kde 3.5 level, and
that 8 pages of excess verbiage may contain the seeds that will make it
work. The question then is: has anything significant been changed in the
tde version?
Thanks Michael.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

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.
