well...okay. I have a crontab. the crontab says "30 7 * * 1,3,5
/path/replay -p .replay/playlistname"
that's it....
I don't know what else TO do. I can't find any instructions beyond the man
pages...and they've been helpful...but not with THIS part...
the message I get from the cron daemon is
"Warning: Unable To Open (or Create or whatever) Window"
and then it gives the text output of the player...
"my PID is ###"
so it IS sorta working. I just need to get it to execute in X.
