You need to specify the full path to the executables somewhere. Either in the script, by expanding of all of them to include the full path (eg. zenity to /path/to/zenity), or in the crontab file, by...

You need to add a DISPLAY environment variable to the cron job.
Example of using anacron to run somescript.sh every week:
# period delay job-identifier command

apt-get update is already one of the daily cron jobs.
Firefox has a built-in popup blocker. Look under the Content tab in the preferences.
You can also use the /etc/hosts file to block sites.
Have a look at unclutter. [man page]
The about:config preference that handles this is keyword.URL
I'm vaguely remembering the problem I had with ypops was that it never seemed to be running no matter what I tried. I completely gave up on ypops and opened a gmail account.
update-rc.d ypops defaults 99
BTW: Does that thing even work for you? I tried using it some months ago with no luck at all.
If unsuccessful at getting this done in Linux, there's a utility by HP that will easily reformat the whole USB stick. You can get it here [extremeoverclocking.com].
Consulting a command's man page for proper usage will usually reap greater rewards than divining it. ;)
man rename

A dedicated grub partition doesn't need the whole /boot dir on it, just /boot/grub. To be more clear, the /boot dir on the grub partition should only contain the grub directory.

Multiple instances of Firefox can be run side-by-side using separate profiles.
1. Create a new profile folder:

2. Make a backup of your current...
You don't reload inputrc by sourcing it. Reread inputrc with the following key sequence: Ctrl-x, Ctrl-r
The following script may work for you. It requires that xsel is installed on your system. Save this script on your desktop, or wherever you find convenient, and make it executable.

No need to reinvent the wheel: XSel
Seems like a good time to post these links:

Not knowing the contents of test.sh is a big blind spot on my side of the intertubes. That aside, the output of the xtrace is sent to stderr, so the command needs a slight modification: bash -x...
Check for an alias in /etc/aliases that may be redirecting root's mail.
If dangling symlinks are of concern, I suppose you could create a cron job to remove the danglers. The readlink command will come in handy for this task.
Create a symlink for the hidden files/directories.
ln -s hidden_file filename_without_leading_dot
With those big honkin' partitions, maximum absurdity will never be achieved.
If you're not interested in generating a log for the backup process, remove the verbose option from the cp commands. Else, leave the verbosity as is and continue using stdout redirection.
You may...
You may want to try a partition table restore utility. Several years ago I successfully restored a completely wiped MBR using the commercial Windows software called Partition Table Doctor. There's...
awk 'NR == line' input-file
Sounds like your script is choking on verbosity.
