I'm trying to have crontab run deluge-gtk run at a specified time but for some reason nothing happens. I'm on Debian 9.4 (stretch).
Here is what I have on my crontab file:
30 16 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/deluge --ui=gtk
I've also tried
30 16 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/deluge-gtk
None of them work. Can I get some enlightenment, please.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
With other jobs, cron is working fine. It's just not working for this deluge line I have
linux debian cron deluge

Before adding the commands to cron, try to run the command as normal command. Also check for which user your are running the cron.

I can run the command fine both with my user. As far as I know, crontab jobs created under my user will run as my user, correct?

Think about this for a minute. If you are not logged in, should the application be opened on the currently logged in user's desktop? Remember that Unix is a multi user system.

See Kusalananda's comment about multi-user environment. Try
30 16 * * * DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/deluge --ui=gtk
Use crontab -e to edit your personal crontab.
