Appreciate for your help.
I put full path of idl. like
/usr/local/rsi/idl_6.3/bin/idl << EOF

and I put 2> option to see error message
2> /data1/kimws/skyrad/error.out

error message is below

% Compiled module: $MAIN$.
% DEVICE: Unable to connect to X Windows display: :0.0
% DEVICE: Unable to open X Windows display.
Is your DISPLAY environment variable set correctly?
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$ 1
/data1/kimws/skyrad/Seoul/POM01MKII/work/1122.pro

1122.pro is a program that draw a figure and save as .png file.
