In the crontab enter the full path to the script.               GY> I'd like to know how to add the command to open a terminal window then        GY> run those commands in the .sh file.              I have never done that and don't know if it's possible. Cron is meant to run       commands unattended so they are not seen.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70       SEEN-BY: 221/0 227/114 229/275 354 426 452 616 981 1014 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 250/3 267/800 280/464 5003 292/854 305/2 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/0       SEEN-BY: 770/1 100 330 340 772/0 1 210 500 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
