Hi,
I simply want to schedule a specific X application to start up at a
given time and appear on the screen.
How do i do that?? I have tried using cron but it seems to just start
it in the background.
Cheers
Adam.

Adam,
You can use cron(tab), but you'd need to set the DISPLAY variable
appropriately:
DISPLAY=:0 xprogram /dev/null 2/dev/null
That's assuming the cron job is running as the same user and same host as
the X display. It gets a little complicated otherwise.
Your question does seem a bit

If your a KDE man try Kalarm. I ues this to lock the screen on our wall
displays at 17:00 but you can ask it to do
pretty much anything.

want BitTorrent (python script) to start up at 2am, (and prefferably
stop at 9am) automatically so that i can take full advantage of this
free bandwidth without wasting my other bandwidth all the time.
