Well actually most of the time I'm dealing with server test apps. They
may or may not need GUIs, but they generally would run in the
background without. Not a requirement, but it would be good to know
that it can be done.
Patricia, what was your case/where is it located if I may peek?
It was discussed in a previous thread in this newsgroup. See

I have a simulation program that I use in my research. I am both
developer and the only end user. Each run is very simple - it reads an
XML parameter file and generates an XML report. The difficulty is that
individual runs can take several hours, and I frequently need to do
blocks of about a hundred runs.
I have various tools that build sets of parameter files and process the
results. Bulk runs are done on a grid computer, using a qmake utility
that acts like a parallel make, but pushes the tasks to the grid's run
queues. I am allowed to have up to 64 runs at any one time.
Obviously, this all has to be automated to be practical. I only look at
individual results if I see some anomaly in bulk reports that compare
results from a large set of runs. Normally, each run turns into a point
in each of a couple of charts.
