Hi Sam,

Arh, okay. Thanks guys, I've had a look through numerous docs but
couldn't find anything. I thought I'd read somewhere that there was such
a command...

Unfortunately, as mentioned, it isn't currently possible to run vic without an 
interface as the tcl GUI is integral to the tool. One solution, if you for 
example you have a headless UNIX machine, would be to point the DISPLAY at a 
vncserver (a virtual X11 server) - that way you don't have the GUI showing up 
anywhere and vic just runs - though you'd need to set it up to transmit on 
startup. You could remotely access the GUI using a vnclient.
