oh,, so is there other ways to run the program at specified time and show pop-up???

Hi,

Before pop-up include the below line in the script. So it will work in crontab also.

export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

hi,
if i use a say command, it is means that i put it like this?

export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
say Hello

or i put it at the end of my script at the very last line???

Hi,

Put "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0" line in ur script in the begnning only once. It will work.

hi,
isit like tis? this is an example of the program. its file name is [testtest]
[
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
#!/bin/sh

a="1"
b="2"
c="3"
d="4"
while true
do
if [ $a = $b ] ; then
echo "$a"
[
if [ $c = $d ] ; then
say "$c"
else
say "$d"
fi
else
say "$b"
fi
done
]


then in the crontab command i put
[
45 13 * * * /usr/asm/sys.2862/testtest > /dev/null 2>&1
]
