Why isn't there a global property to disable the graphic subsystem?
Better yet a handler similar to "onStartup" is called only when the display/GUI is missing allowing developers to take action (run in console mode or GUI). Many frameworks support this feature by creating GUI components as containers only when the DISPLAY/GUI is unavailable. With a few tweaks RR could have one engine to support both CGI/CONSOLE and DISPLA/X/GUI systems and simplify their maintenance.
Please correct me if I am incorrect or I have missed some API which allows this (in a stand-alone).
This is exactly how it works. If the GUI is absent, you can run the engine via text-based scripts. This is the recommended (and only) way to use the engine as a CGI on servers. Many of us on this list have already implemented web-based CGIs; I have a handful of them running on my server right now.
The only message the engine sends, in that case, is a "startup" message. Your text script must include an "on startup" handler that will catch this message.
