Subject: How to launch gui app from cron

Hi all,

Win2kSP4, cygwin1-20040527.dll snapshot

I've added something like this via crontab -e:
0 11 * * * C:/WINNT/system32/dllcache/iexplore.exe

That does start iexplore.exe (I can find process in Task Manager),
however it does not show its window on desktop.

How can I start win app from cron, so that gui is visible?

Best regards,
Jacek.
