Some help with a shell script

[dargx001]

Last night I wrote out a shell script that is called from cron, and the script functions as an alarm clock. I've been trying to get the script to run mplayer graphically, instead of invisibly. If I call the script myself from a terminal, then it shows mplayer in the terminal, and I can easily quit the script. Though if I let cron call the script like it is set to at 8am on Sundays, then I have to go into the System Monitor and kill the process. Any help would be appreciated, and here is the script.

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/mplayer -playlist ~/.playlist

Run "gmplayer" instead of "mplayer" in order to get a GUI.
