Check if this script works:
#!/bin/bash
#Export DISPLAY
export DISPLAY=:0.0
#Call Gnome EOG
/usr/bin/eog -f /home/user/image.png &
#Time to display
sleep 100
killall eog
Tks
Question
I'm trying to make a pomodoro script, just for fun haha. The ideia is that every 30 minutes, a pic pop up on the screen... so its coffee time! ;) I planned something simple, like a scrip that opens a pic, run by the crontab. I got a script that opens a jpg image using EOG. Something like that:
#!/bin/bash
eog -n /home/lscardeal/Pictures/pic.jpg
It works when i run it myself, but it doesn't open the file when its run by the crontab. My crontab runs the script, but the pic doesn't open. How can i make it work?
thx
