Just cron that shell script instead, should work

crontab doesn’t start gui apps :(

I wrote crontab entry for pidgin and it doesn’t work:

$ crontab -l
50 * * * * pidgin

it was 17:48 so I tested if it will start at 17:50 and it didn’t.

You could use your user’s crontab for this (`crontab -e` to edit crontab’ed jobs, `crontab -l` to list them), and even to start gaim.

I’m not too familiar with the at command, but I think that if you don’t want to rerun that script every day, putting this line into your ~/start-gaim.sh script should work:

at -f 8:16 am

this will resubmit your above script at 8:16, with 23:59 to go until starting gaim again.
