At a HUMBUG meeting a looong time ago I saw someone that had the
kworldclock as their background.
It would automatically update itself every five minutes or so. They also
had it so that the machine downloaded a cloud map and overlaid it.
All I want to do is generate the worldmap part every hour. I have
created a script that runs fine in a terminal window but does not run
from a console or cron.
The script looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/kworldclock --dump -o /home/harry/wallpaper/map.jpg --size 1028x768
The error message I get when trying to run it from a console is:
Can't determine DISPLAY. Aborting.
Anyone know how to get kworldclock to output a dump using cron?
