Hi, I'd like an application run from a user crontab to access a password stored in the keyring. Apparently jobs run in the cron job environment do not have access to the DBUS session data. My current workaround is the following script which I run after login. touch $HOME/.dbus/Xdbus chmod 600 $HOME/.dbus/Xdbus env | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS > $HOME/.dbus/Xdbus echo 'export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' >> $HOME/.dbus/Xdbus The resulting file is sourced by the script than runs as a cron job. It is working, but feels clumsy. Is there a proper or an easier way to access the keyring from cron jobs? Marco
