I am relatively new to Linux. I would like my RealVNC server to start when my machine boots (Ubuntu 14.04). The shell script works when I run it from a terminal. I followed the instructions on this website
http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure ... -boot.html
and I chose to use a cron job. I installed the Webmin successfully. Although the shell script runs from a terminal, the cron job does not. I receive the following message when I test the cron job:
Module Index
Execute Cron Job
Output from command /home/david/myscripts/startvnc.sh > /dev/null ..
unable to open display ""
<- Return to cron job | Return to cron list
I am stymied by the message
unable to open display ""
It's probably something simple, yet I can't figure it out.
Thank you in advance for your help.
