I have a daily backup script that is by cron each night. If there is a

Is
there a way to launch a message box or a dialog box (using zenity?) on a
user from the script that is running as root?
Hi Dave,
One way would be to change the script and add another one to be run when
the user logs in. Change the backup script so that, upon failure, it sets a
flag or even a whole error message in a file that the user can read. Then,
in the user's .bash_profile, run another script that checks for the presence
of the file and generates the Zenity error message.
I've never used Zenity, so I don't know about any of its specific
functionality.
