The documentation for selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py says:
"Controls a browser by sending commands to a remote server."When you run it from the command line using xymoncmd, it will have access to your display and any browser that you have running. When xymon runs the same script as a task, it doesn't own the display, so it gets "connection refused".
Probably.

I have this Python Selenium script that works if I go into the '/usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/' and fire off 'xymoncmd' and execute the script -- it reports to the Xymon Display and life is peachy.
When I put the script in tasks.cfg, it runs at the desired internal of every two minutes but it errors out. The script uses a combination of a driver '/usr/local/bin/geckodriver' which I even gave 777 permissions on it and changed ownership to 'xymon:xymon'. The script also uses an executable script in '/usr/bin/firefox' which I gave '777' permissions on it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here is the error message:
