Oh my goodness,
 
I tried what I typed, and it worked. 
 
The magic $DISPLAY setting is actually "null:0.0".
 
*feeling very embarrassed*
 
Sorry for wasting all your time.

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.

Any ideas?
