Thank you, that's the very thing I was thinking about when I left for
work. Having a problem tho'. If I'm not logged in cron sends the
following message (for obvious reasons):

Cron  killall -USR1 xfdesktop
xfdesktop: no process killed

I received 25 such notices last night alone .

I'm scretchy at scripting, perhpas you can assist with this issue?
