Cron with notify-send

Question

I need to show a notification from a cron job. My crontab is something like:

$ crontab -l
# m h  dom mon dow   command
  * *   *   *   *    Display=:0.0 /usr         


        

Answer 1

Try this when you call notify-send in your script:

echo "PASSWORD" | sudo -u USER notify-send "your alert message"
