Well, damnit. No, you're not missing anything, but I obviously am. I have a little script just like yours. I create a crontab with a task for it. It just doesn't work. Other scripts with other commands (cat, for example) are run by cron from my crontab, no problem. So it's not that I can't program a task in cron. It's not that I can't write a script to fire up a browser, that too works (run from the xterm). The only thing I can think of is that your X configuration and mine are different, and mine doesn't allow me to do this. Got a lot more studying to do. Germán.
