Re: no X thankyou!!

[Guillermo S. Romero / Familia Romero]

so, how do i override this?? right now I'm having to xhost (servername)
and keep X running...i want to get this all running from console..i see no
reason for X to be needed... any helpers out there?

IIRC there is a X server that fakes that. It works as normal X, but never
shows anything anywhere. Xvfb maybe? And of course, VNC.

hi,

 IIRC there is a X server that fakes that. It works as normal X, but never
 shows anything anywhere. Xvfb maybe? And of course, VNC.

..but this would stop normal X running on the machine - need a solution
that allows the script to run every hour - whether I'm logged in, or not.
