X and Fluxbox :: bsetbg and cron



the DISPLAY var not being set sounds plausible since cron runs from within its own shell w/o envitorment options I think. What code would I need to set the DISPLAY variable before running bsetbg?

Thanks friedgold , skaos  for the help

export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
You probably also need the full path to export - I don't have a DSL box nearby and on a Vector Linux box I couldn't find the full path(?).
