Hi Alexander,

    On every script that you want to run without X-connection
just include the following line;

    gROOT->SetBatch(kFALSE);

    This line must be the first line appearing on your script otherwise
ROOT will attempt to make an X-connection.
    So write your script like:

{
    gROOT->SetBatch(kFALSE);

    ....    what ever you want here    ....

}

    Obviously if you set the flag to kTRUE  the X-connection will
be made as usual (that's the default)

Stelios.
