Hello Guys,

I want to start the octane render within a linux bash script without display.
Is there a way to do this?

regards

You always need an X server to run Octane. The --no-gui switch will hide the main window but in some situations (like when activation is required, or when running a script which shows a GUI) Octane will still show a window.
