I assume you mean a *graphics* window. IDL won't open a graphics window unless
your program asks it to. If you want to run in batch mode, you need to make
sure that your program doesn't issue any graphics commands. Check your startup
file for stray graphics commands or DEVICE calls.

There are a number of other workarounds, such as:

1. set the graphics device to PS
2. set the graphics device to Z
3. use the xvfb program to provide a virtual X-windows device
4. use the IDLgrBuffer for object graphics.

You can search the archives of this newsgroup for more on these options.
