McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hello again Bob,

According to the User Guide in the scripting section you need to run the script under xvfb:

"When invoked as a command line argument, the user interface will not be shown. However, McIDAS-V still needs to be run with an active window system (e.g., X, MS Windows) for it to run. If running under a Linux/Unix machine with no X server running, McIDAS-V must be run under the X virtual frame buffer, xvfb."

I can run the script from the terminal (command line argument) without using xfvb and without an active window system, it works, but to run it from the cron it is necessary to use xvfb

Now, using xvfb in the cron works perfectly well

Thanks

Ricardo

Great! I'm glad you were able to get your script running using cron.

Bob
