cron jobs, calling IDL, X windows [message #37659]

I've got a script called by cron that, embedded in it, calls IDL. The
code writes everything to Z buffers and then PNG files, so shouldn't
need X windows at all. And, if I have a session open on the machine
that is running cron, everything works fine. However, our system logs
me off at night, and when the script tries to run then, I get an error
that says something to the effect that an Xlib connection is refused
by the server. This appears to occur at the initial calling of IDL.
Is there anyway to call IDL and specifically tell it it doesn't need
any X windows, so that it will run even when my account is logged off?

Thanks,

Kay
