The magic $DISPLAY setting is actually "null:0.0". *feeling very embarrassed* Sorry for wasting all your time. -----Original Message----- From: Madoerin, Jason [mailto:jason.madoerin at lmco.com] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 11:42 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [TCLUG] Null Display? Sorry for the newbie question, but is there a null display setting for the $DISPLAY env variable? I want to do the equivalent of: >xclock -display null:0.0 Or >export DISPLAY=null:0.0 >xclock & Where the above would make the display manager think it is bringing up xclock on a perfectly good display that is the equivalent of /dev/null.
