[gradsusr] Xming starting in batch mode

Hello,

I've recently run into an issue running grads in batch mode through a bash
script. I'm running cygwin, and when I invoke 'grads -b' from the bash
command line, all works as expected. When I try the same thing from a bash
script the Xming server tries to start up.

This has only started happening in the past week since a cygwin update and
I'm hoping somebody here has encountered a similar problem. I'm running a
large number of unattended scripts that use grads and this has brought my
production to a halt.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Mike

Command in bash script: grads -blcx grads_script.gs: works as expected from
the bash command line, but not when called from a bash script
