<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry for the newbie question, but is there a null
display setting for the $DISPLAY env variable?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to do the equivalent of:</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2> </FONT> <FONT face=Courier
size=2>>xclock -display null:0.0</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Courier
size=2>Or</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Courier size=2> >export
DISPLAY=null:0.0</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Courier size=2> >xclock
&</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT> </P><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
