[QUOTE="daBee, post: 1894351, member: 407054"] Hi folks. I'm using my [B]crontab[/B] to run a [B]Ruby[/B] script that calls an [B]applescript[/B]. The [B]applescript[/B] is a simple command: [CODE]osascript -e 'tell app \"System Events\" to display alert \"Northern Lights Prediction Strong\" message \"#{ r }\"'"[/CODE] Getting a [B]timeout[/B] 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 [/QUOTE]
