When I start the IDL virtual machine (on LINUX) with the command
idl -vm=filename.sav,
there is a pop-up window telling me to "Click to continue", before the
program is executed.

Does anyone know how to avoid this window from popping up, so that
program execution starts immediately?

Provided the webserver has a valid license for IDL, you can use the
runtime environment. See:

That may be exactly the reason they have the splash screen pop up.

You can look at their ION product, which will do what you want.
You can of course call IDL from the command line with a procedure to run,
but if I remember correctly, I think IDL stays open.

Another thing to do would be have IDL poll and wait for input from the php
program (perhaps as simple as having php create a file, and IDL look for the
file, and when it finds sees the file, IDL executes something).

Cheers,
bob
