How do I run IDL with non-interactive backend? [message #79262]

I am not sure if people are familiar with MATLAB, but supposed we do
this on a Linux machine without the pretty GUI:

matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -r "my_script; quit"

There are a few more pretty extra commands I can added to the line
above.

Now back to IDL. We are running IDL from a linux machine, and we have
a webclient which basically sends the requests and asks the machine to
execute the IDL script.

So far we have this
idl -e "my_hello_world_script"

PRO my_hello_world_script
PRINT, "HELLO IDL USERS!"
END

This is fine.
But if we want to make a plot, and use the same command --> idl -e
"my_plot" will say

"Unable to open X-terminals."

My question is: does anybody know the command to force IDL execute in
a non-interactive mode (meaning no GUI windows pops out), and will
quit IDL as well (like the MATLAB command above, if we don't quit,
MALTAB will just sit there running"

Thank you.
