Software / Configuration • Examples to make "crontab" work

$
0
0
In order to be able to run a program at a specific time every day I am trying to make cron work.

I can edit crontab with the command:

Code:

crontab -e

There I can add a line like this:

Code:

4 1 * * * echo $PATH > testpath.txt
And it works.


But if I want to start a program like vlc or featherpad or run a script with full qualified path nothing happens:

For instance:

Code:

47 0 * * * vlc

How can I make it work.?



Thank you in advance.
