Are there alternatives to X-windows display and Xvfb?
One option is the PJA Toolkit. PJA Toolkit is a pure Java implementation of the GraphicsEnvironment methods in Java, and does not use native code. Therefore, can also be used in place of an X-window, or XVFB. Click here to download documentation & sample file for the PJA Toolkit. Commands to run X server in background for Sun / Unix Even though the solaris are running from a remote site, the production people refused to go headless as they wanted to be able to use the console in the event they could not reboot remotely. They also refused for us to send the DISPLAY to another server running the Xserver sighting security concerns. The workaround was the following: > First, turned off the production CDE (this is the production’s console login prompt): >/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d >Second, created a start-up script for when the system reboots to >start up the local Xserver, create an xterm window at the local console and >then lock the local console: >nohup /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 & >nohup /u
