Non Graphical Application

Phil,
  I'm wanting a Linux app that doesn't require an interface.  I just
want to kick it off from the unix prompt and execute my non graphical
code such as ftping a file or changing a mysql database.  Jeff

Hi Jeff,

When you say 'no graphics', do you mean you want a command-line
interface only, 
or something else?

If CLI only, you can write a runrev script with a text editor, and start
it out 
by turning off the GUI, by making line 1 of the script something like
this:

#!<pathToRunRev> -ui


Thanks -
Phil Davis
