Description

Scheduled jobs can ask for desktop acknowledgement before running through a FreeDesktop-compatible notification service. It is useful for users who want cron tasks to pause for human confirmation instead of running silently.

Acknowledgement prompts can delay or block automation. Use them only for jobs where user confirmation is expected and check behavior when no desktop session is active.

How to run
