As described in the Gnucash documentations, I have
recently set up a personal (runs under my userid,
not root) crontab entry to automatically update my
stock prices:
0 2 * * 6 gnucash --add-price-quotes postgres://stuart@localhost/gnucash
However, when it ran last night, I got this email
back:
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most
common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus
daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.
(Details - 1: Not running within active session)
Found Finance::Quote version 1.17
I gather this has something to do with not running
in a gnome session (and in fact the same command
works fine when run in a xterm window).
Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix. Any
suggestions? Am running this on a Fedora-15
system. Thanks....
