SNiFF+ without display (batch mode)
You can start a SNiFF+ session without a display. This is particularly useful on Unix, since you can then run SNiFF+ without an Xserver host during unattended updates of your working environments.
SNiFF+ runs without a display when the
SNIFF_BATCH
environment variable is set to
1
. To set the variable:
On Unix:
Open a shell in which you will be updating your working environments.
In the shell, set the
SNIFF_BATCH
environment variable to
1
:
setenv SNIFF_BATCH 1
When updating your working environments, run the appropriate update scripts without the
<Xserver_host> parameter.
On Windows:
Open a Command Prompt in which you will be updating your working environments.
In the Command Prompt, set the
SNIFF_BATCH
environment variable to
1
:
set SNIFF_BATCH=1
