Hmm... For some reason the above command stopped working. To be honest, even when it did work, the spawned process did not update the files I wanted it to properly. So I went back to trying it as a straight process instead of running it in a frame buffer. But it is again complaining that it can't open the display. Since it's headless, how do I set the environment variable? I thought I was setting it to the frame buffer running on display 5. But now that isn't working. So I guess I have two questions.

1. Is it possible to get this to work without a frame buffer?
2. If not, how can I check to see if the frame buffer is running? (because it seems to not be working anymore)

Here's a sample of the recent error messages:
