[SOLVED] Notifications from cron jobs

[SYNOPSYS] I found this, answer #39 and it works.

I have several scripts that provide notifications with notify-send that work when run for the shell.  However, when run as a cron job no notifications appear on the desktop.

This is my /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service config:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/lib/notification-daemon-1.0/notification-daemon

How do I get notifications to work from scripts run as a cron job?

    Backward compatibility is for the masses. There's no dual-boot here.
