Hi,

I have a crontab entry that supposed to launch firefox browser but it does not work. Here is the cron:

45 14 * * 3 DISPLAY=localhost:0.0;/usr/lib/firefox/firefox

I get the following error:
(firefox-bin:27852): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

It still does not work after i do 'xhost localhost'.

Ideas?

thanks,
tatarin
