Sorry for the silence on this thread. I got distracted by real work
and only recently returned my attention to this.

The good news is that I got it to work. I found a thread dealing with
a very similar problem
(http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-568523.html) and ditched
CRON for AT. Now upon logging in a bash script runs and schedules my
screensaver to lock every hour - helping me drink more water.

Cheers,

Ron

P.S. I posted about this at:
