[MPlayer-users] re:mplayer fails when invoked from at command

[Carl Weidling]

Isn't it hard to get anything that uses X-windows to work with
an 'at' command?  It doesn't know what display to use, or
have permissions for.  I got mencoder to work with an at
command, to record TV, but it doesn't open a display.  Even
so I had to use 1>&2>/dev/null in the script so it would know
what to do with stdout and stderr.
