My plan is to use selenium to automatically open my AWS CloudWatch Dashboard each morning and close the dashboard in the evening. Thereby, I configured the following cron jobs to open the dashboard at 7 AM and closes it at 7 PM:

0 7 * * 1-5 /home/pi/open_dashboard.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
0 19 * * 1-5 /home/pi/close_dashboard.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

The open_dashboard.sh file looks like the following to enable HDMI and run the selenium python script:

vcgencmd display_power 1 # enable HDMI
export DISPLAY=:0
python3 /home/pi/open_dashboard.py

However, when I try to run the script over the normal console, it works out and the firefox browser is opened. When I run the python script with the cron job, the firefox selenium browser is not shown on my screen. How can I display the firefox browser to the screen by using cron jobs? An example open_dashboard.py may look as the following:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch")
# other steps are omitted to reduce complexity

# no driver.close() because the browser should stay

selenium cron

  Where (what directory) are you running the cron job? You might have to export a PATH variable as well if the shell script is running somewhere that doesn't have access to it, otherwise it won't be able to find your geckodriver which is what opens firefox.
