That I did, the cron is now run under my user's name instead of root.

There was a segfault but it was because I logged to /dev/stderr.

The /tmp/xnee.log and the e-mail shows everything's alright, but it
doesn't work. I see my root terminal flipping to the next panel
(because I did that at the end of the recording), but when I
check my test site it shows the last login time was a manual one,
not the cnee one.

This is my mod'op:

* I made a cron (into /etc/cron.d/) which is launched under my user's
  identity. It check if the executable is there and if so execute it.

* The executable is a bash script that compute a delay before
  execution & a replay speed (75~100%), then it launches cnee
  as follow:

RES=`DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/cnee --speed-percent $RND_REPLAY --replay --file 
/usr/local/NOIP-COM_KEEP_MY_ACCOUNT_AUTO/horde.defcon1.xns --err-file 
/tmp/xnee.log`
# Set an output to show if the command has succeeded
if [ "$RES" > 0 ]; then
   echo "AUTOMATIC CONNECTION TO NOIP-COM WITH LOGIN SUCCESS :) / RES=$RES"
else
   echo "AUTOMATIC CONNECTION TO NOIP-COM WITH LOGIN FAILURE :(((((((( / 
RES=$RES"
fi
# Exit normally
exit 1


$RES has no printable value and if I strip "--verbose" from the command
string, it echoes a failure, otherwise a success?!
