A few releases ago (lucid lynx) I wrote a backup shell script task that was executed as an anacron job every week. It worked fine then. However, It fails in natty.
The idea was simple. The script referenced by the anacron job just launched gnome-terminal with the actual backup script passed in as the argument. So a new terminal window popped up showing the script output.
Here you are my anacron file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/673965/
and here, the launcher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/673963/
Any idea about why what once worked, stopped working? And more important, what to do to make it work again?
Note: I would appreciate tested solutions when possible...
