ok i'll specify the display though not experienced with xauth i'll search for it.
as for cron vs gui well any advice?
i really need this service to be up and running 24/7 with no downtime
so i'm thinking of the following cronjob:
if netstat -ntulp* | grep -v 4444
DISPLAY="localhost:1"; java - jar selenium-server.jar > /tmp/rc.log* 2>&1;
else
echo "nothing to do `date`" >> /tmp/rc.log
echo
echo
fi
# Can you advise me with a better idea?
thanks,

You need to instruct it what DISPLAY to run on.
DISPLAY=...*command-to-run-selenium
You should also need (I think) to do something with X authentication (xauth)
Are you sure that running it from cron is suitable? Seems very unusual for a GUI program.

ear all,
i'm trying to run multiple* selenium rc server on a centos box (different ports)
with developers connecting to it through VNC (different respective ports) to check their automated test result.
i can easily do the above manually (when it comes to running RC server).
though automating the process is proving to be difficult.
can anyone guide me on how to run a service on a specific display in an automated process?
right now if i connect to a vnc session (any port) and i run it manually through iterm, it works normally.
though setting an cron job that does the above, isnt working (rc opens in shell instead of on each dev's assigned display)
