BUGS
----
Even in command line mode the Arduino IDE requires a graphical user interface to be
present. This should usually be the case in Windows or Mac OS X. On Linux however you
might want to compile and upload sketches when logged in via SSH or in batch mode. To
accomplish this, install the Xvfb dummy X server and write a small wrapper script to
create an instance of this Xserver, run the Arduino IDE in it and kill the Xserver
afterwards:
#!/bin/bash
Xvfb :1 -nolisten tcp -screen :1 1280x800x24 &
xvfb="$!"
DISPLAY=:1 arduino $@
kill -9 $xvfb
Save the script as *arduino-headless* and run it with the options described above.
If the script does not return to a shell prompt, the options you specified were wrong
and the Arduino IDE actually opened a window, stop its execution with Ctrl+C.
