There maybe more than one display, so you need to address/display on the
right one. Check what you are actually using as per echo cmd above.

My previous desktop did not have front USB, so I had a short extension
cable bringing USB to the front. Now that was 2.0, so I do not know if
something running at 10Gbps could tolerate such a solution, but I bet not.
I believe the reason for SATA Express is that it can accommodate higher
bandwidth

That may be a true prediction, but at the moment a SATA Express port
plus the device to mount in the front panel is the only way I can find
to get USB
I am also looking, 2-3 even 4 yr old design would do it for me, although a
4X display is very tempting since I use my computer as a TV

I was just doing an installation on a 10 year old computer. One solution is

For CPU I have settled on Intel i7 6700 or maybe 7700. The problems is
the motherboard because I insist on a USB 3.1 Gen. 2 port on the front
of the case, and that means an adapter like the following:

I have presently export DISPLAY=:0. I do not know what the : means, and
why would you choose 1 rather than zero? Note that presently the window
does appear, but the command wmctrl -k does not seem to do anything. I
will be giving anacron an opportunity tomorrow with Wes' suggestion added.
-Deni
On the $DISPLAY variable, I thought that is what export DISPLAY=:0 was
supposed to do. It must be doing something, since the zenity window does
appear on my desktop. It is just that the wmctrl -k does not seem to
work. I will be trying Wes' suggestion tomorrow when anacron gets another
shot at
yup.

Thinking little more about it - you might be able to get around the access
permissions - to display stuff on other user's screens by using xhost
command as part of user's default environment setup at login.
That however is breaking the security - you can imagine how the desktop
would look if rando
I do not believe that you will be able to open graphical window using cron.
The best you can hope for is sending notifications or emails.

I have a script which runs daily via anacron. I want the script to launch
a zenity window to notify the user, so I issue the command wmctrl -k on
before zenity and wmctrl - off after. This is supposed to minimize all
open windows to ensure that the zenity window will be visible. I have a
