Hi,
I'm having unusual problem with scm command line on Linux (RH4).

I have RTC-ExpressC-Full-1.0.1-Linux.zip client installed on Linux.
I log into this Linux machine via Putty and try to run scm command. When there is no X-Server running on my local machine I get following message:

The application 'scm' lost its connection to the display localhost:11.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.



Everything works fine when X-Server is up.
Has anybody encountered this issue? It is bit of a problem for me because I want to set up some scm tasks via cron.

Cheers!
Piotr

Ok, I found quick workaround based on this topic -> https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4109

I have replaced original scm script (from scmtools/eclipse) with this one: 


#!/bin/bash

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar $*

exit 0


Seems to work fine now.
