The goal:  to be able to get an infobox to open in a terminal after some time; alarm clock style, (on a Debian derived linux box).However:> at now + 3 mindialog --infobox Time to attend to matters\! 6 33produces no output.  and a system email that says Error opening terminal: unknown.  So we prefix the dialog with some environmental variable stuff which did the trick in the past, that the command after at now looks like this:TERM=linux DISPLAY=:0.0 dialog --infobox Seek ye the truth\! 6 33Now the only thing produced is a system email filled with escape sequences, which i'll guess is the output of dialog itself?  How can one get dialog to play well with at?  (thankee!)
at (batch) job + dialog = nothing
