Gsettings with cron

Question

I wrote a bash script that changes the wallpaper (for GNOME3).

#!/bin/bash

# Wallpaper\'s directory.
dir=\"${HOME}/images/wallpapers/\"

# Random wallpaper.

To change your wallpaper through cron, just do this directly in your crontab : Execute crontab -e

Add lines like this :

30 09 * * * DISPLAY=:0 GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf /usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:////home/elison/Pictures/morning.jpg

00 12 * * * DISPLAY=:0 GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf /usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:////home/elison/Pictures/noon.jpg
