Subject: | [gentoo-user] How to tell Cron X is running or not |

1 | Scripts that test for X running might work in a shell but not when the |
2 | script is run by cron. |
3 | |
4 | For example: This code: |
5 | tty|grep pts |
6 | retval=$? |
7 | if [[ $retval > 0 ]];then |
8 | print "X isn't running just now... postponing rsync of WWW |
9 | until such time as it is... exiting" |
10 | exit |
11 | fi |
12 | |
13 | Runs fine when run from a user shell, but when cron runs it the test |
14 | always fails to be true. |
15 | |
16 | So how can I test for X running in case where script will be run by cron? |
