I found this:

Since this program is an X client, it requires the presence of an X
server,
making it problematic to automate this process using CRON.

The X version X11R6 was downloaded via anonymous ftp from:

ftp://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/pub/special_requests/xvfb/solaris/ X11R6/bin...

Then it's just a matter of starting the virtual frame buffer program
on <HOST> to create the virtual display #1:

/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1152x900x8 &

Then within the script that performs <desired batch operations>
the following line sends graphics output to DISPLAY 1, the virtual
frame
buffer we just started:

set DISPLAY=:1.0 ; export DISPLAY

I installed Xvfb and I do:
Xvfb :5 -screen 0 1152x900x8 &
set DISPLAY=:5.0 ; export DISPLAY
idl
plot, dist(2)
% Compiled module: DIST.
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

T_T It doesn't work !
Help?
