Bug#296876: xvfb-run: does not properly look for xauth

2006-02-03 Thread adrian
Just a "me too" on this, a bit annoying to have to change the calling
script.  It'd be nice to have it fixed to avoid other people being
bitten by it since I'd have thought it was a trivial fix.

Cheers,

Adrian

Bug#296876: xvfb-run: does not properly look for xauth

2005-02-25 Thread Wouter Verhelst
Package: xvfb
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: normal

I have a cron job that needs an X server to be present, so wanted to use
xvfb-run to make this work. However, there's an issue; my cron output
looks like this:

xvfb-run: error: xauth command not found

even though xbase-clients is installed. This seems to be because
xvfb-run looks for xauth using 'which', while xauth is installed in
/usr/bin/X11/xauth; using which will thus work if that directory is in
$PATH, but that is not usually the case when something is being called
from cron.
