Tony,

Yes, but you have to set up things so they can run.
>but that batch files run by the scheduler will not?
The scheduler will not run unless you have a McIDAS session running, so
processes to be run by the scheduler will not run without a McIDAS session.

Right. You could write a script to do the surface plot and run it from
cron, but that would not give you anything UNLESS you saved the display
to a GIF (tm) that you then viewed later with some other tool.
