Hi all,

can I start IDL on Linux without an X server available? I frequently run
IDL on a Linux machine remotely, logged on from a Windows machine. If
the Windows machine doesn't run an X server at that moment, IDL won't
start ("X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown)").

I know I somehow can run (non-interactive) IDL programs from a cronjob,
as long as they don't involve windows.

I found the section "Command Line Options for IDL Startup" in the help
file, but it doesn't mention anything :-(.

Thanks,
Benjamin
