some reason i keep getting this in my local host inbox ( i set this up so i could use this)

Code:
INIT_Processeses(), could not establish the default connection to the WindowServer.
what does that mean and how can it be fixed?
i hope i am getting in the right place to post this...

it would help if you posted your cron jobs:
in terminal put:
crontab -l
and
sudo crontab -l

My guess is you're trying to run a .app from root user which you can't do because it requires an instance of Aqua.

If that is in fact caused bu SQLTunes, it probably is trying to run while you are logged off. Remove the entry from your crontab file and it should stop. I always forget the exact command to edit a crontab file, so I use Cronnix.

typing "info crontab" told me how to delete it...
now doing "crontab -l" turns up blank

Thanks
