Hello Greg,

 GY> trying to setup a crontab job, I have a sh file that runs

Cron doesn't have the paths that your regular user has so it's always a good
idea to use the full path to the executables when running from cron.

 GY> ./fidopoll 0:0/000
 GY> ./mailin.sh
 GY> ./mailout.sh

The above should run if you are running a script from cron that first changes
to your mystic directory. In the crontab enter the full path to the script.

 GY> I'd like to know how to add the command to open a terminal window then
 GY> run those commands in the .sh file.

I have never done that and don't know if it's possible. Cron is meant to run
commands unattended so they are not seen.

 Ttyl :-),
