load skill file without starting Virtuoso but use Virtuoso API.

I hope to load a skill script directly in Bash to modify the layout and generate GDS. Is there a way to accomplish this without starting Virtuoso? Alternatively, which scripts does Virtuoso load before invoking procedures like dbOpenCellView?

    You can use 'dbAccess' to modify the layout (still requires the Framework licence).
