Cron + Dbus

Hi,

We are developing a snapshot/backup system supported by inotify and cron in
python (www.hdlorean.com or http://launchpad.net/hdlorean). We are having
some trouble with dbus env variables and Cron. We would like that cron calls
some of the daemon methods trhough dbus, however as Cron runs a
non-interactive shell, the DBUS_ADDRESS env variable is not set, so it
cannot be used. I've been trying to use dbus-autolaunch to solve that
problem, but it failed.

We will thank any help or ideas you could bring.

Thanks,
Adrian

PS: Sorry for my english.
