   Hello Greg,   
      
    GY> trying to setup a crontab job, I have a sh file that runs   
      
   Cron doesn't have the paths that your regular user has so it's always a good   
   idea to use the full path to the executables when running from cron.   
      
    GY> ./fidopoll 0:0/000   
    GY> ./mailin.sh   
    GY> ./mailout.sh   
      
   The above should run if you are running a script from cron that first changes   
   to your mystic directory. 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 :-),
