Wine not work in crontab

  • 772

There is bash in cron script with wine executing. In cronjob log I see:

wine: Unhandled exception 0x0eedfade in thread 9 at address 0xce99ebf0:0x7b83e6ce (thread 0009), starting debugger...
err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 928 bytes in thread 0009 eip 7bc843a0 esp 00230f90 stack 0x230000-0x231000-0x330000

I tryed two approaches to avoid this problem, but no one worked.

1) In bash script:

DISPLAY= wine my_program.exe

2) In crontab 

52 15 * * * export DISPLAY= && bash myscript.sh >> /var/log/mylog.log 2>&1

How to fix this error?

linux cron wine

  1. The binary wine is meant for graphical programs, it needs an X server to run. If your program doesn't have a graphical interface, use wineconsole instead.

    wineconsole my_program.exe
