Title
Body
I use a website to order food, and I would like this website to be automatically opened in the browser at 11 am day. I opened crontab using "crontab -e" and tried this: 59 10 1-31 1-12 SUN,MON,TUE,THU google-chrome --new-window http://food.com and also tried this: 59 10 1-31 1-12 SUN,MON,TUE,THU x-www-browser http://food.com But they sent me an email instead of opening the website: (x-www-browser:16597): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: (google-chrome:16883): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Thanks! Update : The solution was adding "export DISPLAY=:0 &&" to crontab. i.e.: 53 10 * 1-12 SUN,MON,TUE,THU export DISPLAY=:0 && google-chrome --new-window http://www.foodsite.com
