I have been trying to get cron to execute programs at set times,
As a test I am trying to execute dillo (loads fast!) I setup cron as user testbed to execute dillo every five mins,
I get the following ......

Setting locale to C
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
OK so i know its something to do with $DISPLAY, I tried setting DISPLAY=:0.0 in a shell then execute dillo, no go ...
I know cron works AOK on non x programs
Can anyone advise ?
