Run Skill Scripts and Update Schematics from Unix Command Line

Can we load and run skill procedures without having to invoke interactive command window. I have started to read about "interprocess communication" but it looks like these need to be run from the CIW window.

 

Thanks

    Hi Ahmad,

    Those were Warnings not Errors, and anyway, I see the following message at the end of the section you posted:

    Successfully connected to a non-graphical X Window Display server.

    I suspect that the PCell issue is due to something else - where is the error relating to being unable to generate the PCell?  Have you run the SKILL Lint tool on your code to scan for possible issues? (Access it from Tools -> SKILL Development environment when using IC61x/ICADV12x ).

    If the -nograph really is the source of the issue, did you try taking a look at the log files?  The documentation notes the following:

    Note: cdsXvnc can leave locked files in /tmp if it exits abnormally (for example, it is killed or crashes). In such cases you may be displayed warning messages like:

    *WARNING* Could not open display sfsol804:80. If no X server is running for
    *WARNING* this display, please remove the file /tmp/.X11-unix/X80.

    ----

    Also you could try -nographN where N is 0-9 to see if that helps.  Post back with your efforts and results...

    Good luck!

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
