Something like: % env DISPLAY=mynullhost:10.0 myxapp % env DISPLAY=:1.0 myxapp Or, if you start your app from within X and just want to hide its windows, you could also try to configure your favorite window manager to automatically hide all windows from a particular application (if your wm allows it and if your X11 app tells its name in an X11 resource (check out RESOURCES in X(7), and -xrm)). -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

OT: what is the X11 equiv of /dev/null
I often want to run applications from my PC (actually the dual boot partition on my desktop 7.1) on one of the X11 capable 7.1 machine at work (identical configs except for dual booting) and want to be able to open applications (like deluge) on the work machine that require a X11 server...
