View Full Version : [ubuntu] 'banshee --play' from crontab opens a new instance

What I'm trying to do is have Banshee (which you can assume is already running) start playing at 8:45.

Here's my crontab line:


45 8 * * 1-5 banshee --play

Running this command manually through a terminal works fine, it does exactly what I'd hope. However, when cron tries to run it, it just opens a new instance of Banshee and nothing more.

I've tried adding "DISPLAY=:0" just in case, but it didn't make a difference.

Can anyone help?

Bump :(

Anybody able to shed any light on this?
