Hi Richard, Thank you for the reply. The UI is needed - because the application which is computing pops up a terminal or console once the job is submitted. I tried suppressing the output and also tried to redirect it to NULL, both didn't work. The DISPLAY environment is not set at all in the start script. regarding xvfb - is it possible to run it even if X server is running on all the compute nodes? Thank you.

But is this UI really ***NEEDED*** ? Wouldn't it be better to just suppress or disable somehow this UI? What happens if you just unset your DISPLAY environment variable in your start script? Isn't there any option to start your application without the UI? If you cannot switch it off you could send this X output to Xvfb, you don't need an X server running on each host. Just start Xvfb on your script and end it after your application has finished. We do this here for an application we cannot change and wants some X output, and it works fine.
