CentOS - Feb 2011 - selenium rc server - run it on a specific display help!

Dear 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)

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.
