Excellent!  Gerhard, this now works for me with sage-3.0.alpha5:

sage -c "notebook(address='137.146.194.57', open_viewer=False,
directory='/home/ghitza/notebooks/ma311')"

The same command with address='bayes.colby.edu' instead of the ip
address did not work.  Also, before issuing this command I had created
the various user accounts (see notebook? for details on how to do that).

Best,
Alex
