`sigdmwblocks` doesn't seem to do anything when invoked from cron #46

As the title says, calling sigdwmblocks from a cron job doesn't seem to have any effect. Using kill SIGRTMIN+signal $(pgrep dwmblocks) works just fine though.

Why would you call sigdwmblocks from a cronjob, when dwmblocks itself has periodic updates? Anyway, it might be due to some security related constraints put on jobs started from cron. I will see if I can do something.

Because I want to execute sigdwmblocks right after calling another program.

Welp, turns out I'm just retarded and didn't realize that cron's PATH differs from user's, which is why it didn't find the sigdwmblocks executable.

Sorry to have bothered you. Closing.

No problem.
