Hi List,
I've a work around for a lyx2latex batch program. I can't believe I'm the
only person who wants to do this, so here it is.
First, thanks to Andre Poenitz for the command line option to do
the export:
$ lyx --export latex FILENAME.lyx
Now the trick is to stop the gui poping up. On linux running XFree86 there
is a virtual frame buffer X server, that acts a bit like /dev/null. It is
available for other platforms also.
Start the virtual frame buffer X server with a suitable display number:
$ Xvfb :1 &
This will sit there forever handling x protocol commands sent to that display.
Now run lyx with the display set to this x server:
$ /bin/rm -f FILENAME.tex && lyx -display :1 --export latex FILENAME.lyx
We must remember to get rid of the tex file before we start, otherwise
lyx will hang in a dialog asking us if we want to delete it!
Bye,
Geoff Russell
