I run the script using olpc user su -c "export DISPLAY=:0.0; /usr/bin/python my_script.py" olpc This call works well but it's ignored at sugar start. A possible workaround can be put this line into cron.daily and configure it to run few minutes after start. I tested it and works but I don't know if it's the best way to do.
