    I have a script running thru crontab that calls a QT popup
    (named shutdown_warning). The popup does not display on the
    screen and the error received is:

    shutdown_warning: cannot connect to X server

    The script calls "shutdown_warning" from roots home directory.
    The crontab is being executed from root.

    It displays fine on the user console if, as root, I execute the
    script and export $DISPLAY:1.0

    I need this popup to display on the user console and all
    remote console connections.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks -----
