I am trying to run a StarOffice macro through the command line
remotely, but when I try to I get this error:

Return value:/usr/local/OpenOffice/program/soffice.bin: cannot open
display; DISPLAY environment variable is not set please set it to the
correct value and check the permission to access that display. (See
"man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)

I don't need to do anything with the GUI, what can I do?

1. How to not have process number / 'done' line for background process?

Does anyone know how to supress the 'process number' line and the 'done'
line when submitting a process to run in the background? I tried sending
it to /dev/null, but that didn't solve the problem. The exact command I
am trying is:    ls &

The two lines I would like to not have returned are:
                 nnnnnn  (process number)
                 Done
