Synopsis: Run the script as a normal user and sudo only those commands that need it.
The Tip: provided here in the Desktop notifications Wiki does not produce any notifications for either user or root cron jobs.
However, I found this, answer #39 and it works but only for user cron jobs and not for root cron jobs.
Here are the versions of the related packages:
cronie 1.5.7-2
libnotify 0.7.9-2
notification-daemon 3.20.0-4
xfce4-notifyd 0.6.2-2I start the script that extracts the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable as the first entry in the Openbox autostart script and I have added the sourcing of the file containing it to the cron job script.
What am I missing here?
[EDIT]
I should add that the notifications appear if the script is run from a terminal by a user but not if run from a terminal as root so it may, strictly speaking, not be a cron job issue.

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