Applescript Run by Cron Error

[daBee]

Hi folks. I'm using my crontab to run a Ruby script that calls an applescript. The applescript is a simple command:

osascript -e 'tell app \"System Events\" to display alert \"Northern Lights Prediction Strong\" message \"#{ r }\"'"

Getting a timeout on this, and I'm not sure why. A test cron brings it up fine, but I'm thinking the OS doesn't like that window staying open. Is this what happens with hanging dialog boxes?

Cheers
