Thanks to all who responded, In the end I choosed Xvfb - X Virtual Frame Buffer. So far it's working perfectly! Xvfb uses shared memory to create a virtual frame buffer to (for example) DISPLAY=:1.0
Because of this I wonder if at some point I'll have to increase shared memory segments, I guess we'll see.
Sincere thanks to the following who suggested Xvfb:

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
SunGods,
I have a requirement to automate a process upon startup (probably a script in rc3.d) that will do:
xhost +
su - appluser -c "export DISPLAY=satori:0.0;xhost +;/usr/dt/dtterm" (I know, I know...X security...)
Or perhaps I need to do something else....the goal is to allow an application that runs via cron can open a dtterm session which it needs & uses without manual intervention. If this workstation gets rebooted, etc. the job always fails unless someone manually logs in as the application user and opens a dtterm & does the export DISPLAY, xhost, etc. I can't seem to get this set via startup scripts...it complains with:
Xlib: connection to "satori:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xhost: unable to open display "satori:0.0"
Is the problem because the workstation goes to CDE login screen & cannot be 'sent' a dtterm until it's actually logged in?
TIA, Kevin
