The size of those windows is correct and I can also click on the button, which I know there is and by clicking it the window closes. But no text is shown on the button like "ok". I use those windows as message boxes.Johannes Müller wrote:Hi,I included the cronbug.txt if this is of any help.
I installed and use cron on windows xp using cygwin. It works fine for non-GUI applications, but for instance notepad does not seem to start at all. And a popup-window-script I wrote in python does appear and react to userinput, but is not displayed correctly, as I can not see a button on the window (although it fires the associated action, when being pressed). I configured the cron service to be able to interact with the desktop and tried to find an answer to my question on the net/FAQ/Mailinglist but could not find more than the hint to somehow configure the environment for cron. I set "DISPLAY=:0" as it is suggested in the ubuntu-wiki to start GUI-apps from cron. I also used a system-owned-shell to install cron with cron-config, but this did not seem to work out: """ The group membership of your cron table file should be ADMINISTRATORS. Here is your cron table file listing: -rw-r----- 1 SYSTEM Administratoren 332 2010-05-02 14:05 /var/cron/tabs/SYSTEM This rule does not apply if the daemon runs with nontsec. You can change the group membership setting with: chgrp 0 /var/cron/tabs/SYSTEM Please change your cron table's group membership. """ So my question is, how do I configure cygwin and cron, so that cron can start and display GUI-applications correctly?
Sorry if I understood something wrong and annoy you, but I am new to cygwin and cron and I really tried to solve the problem by myself for quite some time.
I appreciate your help, Johannes Müller

Hi again,
Sorry for the flooding, I thought Attachments would be viewed as Links to the file rather than plain text. I could still not figure out the problem. I tried to work around the problem by starting the GUI-program with nohub, but nothing changes. I hope you can give me a hint, since I am pretty clueless at the moment.
Johannes
