Thanks! Sorry I did not post my question clear enough, I'm runing SAS on Linux, how can I set the GUILOGON environment variable in Linux? Thank you!

In a BI server environment, you have the shell scripts used to start server components in the configuration tree (usually starting with /.../Lev1)

You can find the path to that by using the Server Manager in Management Console and opening the related server configuration (ie SASApp/Logical Workspace Server/Workspace Server. In the Options of the latter you find the complete path to the shell script.

In the same directory where you find the WorkspaceServer.sh, there's also a WorkspaceServer_usermods.sh file. Add

export GUILOGON=NO

to that, and you should be fine.

The _usermods file(s) will not be overwritten by SAS updates/hotfixes.
