Bug ID: 367782
Summary: kcron will only accept other than "/" to start
Product: kcron
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: g...@meyer.net
Reporter: s093x...@rogers.com
The version number of my task scheduler is 5.0
I have a number of gui apps that I use in Kcron. In the past I have written
entries in my personal kcron as "export DISPLAY=:0 && app_name"
Due to a persistent bug in neon, I reinstalled the os and went to redo my gui
apps. It didn't work.
I tried "export DISPLAY=:0 && app_name" but the OK button remained greyed out.
The only thing that worked was putting /home as the first item and entering
"/home/. . ./bin/app_name --display :0"
The OK button was not greyed out but the app would not run.
I used "crontab -u user -e" and manually inserted the export DISPLAY=:0 && in
each of the lines. Closing the app updated cron and systemsettings showed the
updated information. As a check I Modifyied one of the lines but the OK button
remained greyed out. I had to Cancel.
I cannot reproduce this but one of my entries came up as
"/home/... export DISPLAY=:0 && /home/.../bin/app_name"
As I say I don't know how this instance happened.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert export DISPLAY=:0 && before an app name in personal (and others ?)
cron in SystemSettings
2.
3.
Actual Results:
OK button is greyed out until a "/" is entered first
Expected Results:
Kcron should accept a none "/" starting character
The modified entries do not run when "Run Now" is clicked. They do though run
as scheduled cron jobs which I am extremely happy about.
Hope this helps.
Thank You
