+# Important Note
+
+These cronjobs have components that require information about your current display to display notifications correctly.
+
+When you add them as cronjobs, I recommend you precede the command with commands as those below:
+
+```
+export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/$(id -u $USER)/bus; export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1; . $HOME/.zprofile; then_command_goes_here
+```
+
+This ensures that notifications will display, wtype/wlrctl commands will function and environmental variables will work as well.
+
+# Also important
+DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable will always have a random address in the /tmp directory when you are using dinit as your init system.
