The "-headless" option definitely works for the unix VM. I don't know about OS X or Windows.
There is also -nodisplay. From what I understand, -headless just prevents the VM from opening its window (so you still need to run a graphics server), and -nodisplay loads a dummy display plugin, so in theory you don't even need the X11 libraries on the machine.
Now I'm also trying to run a headless image on linux, but nothing happens. There is a WAKom + Seaside running in the image but it doesn't listen. Since squeak doesn't give any hint of whichever state it's in… Only problem I see is that some plugins require X11 even though I ran configure with --without-x, so at least there is a bug in the autoconf scripts. NB. The exact same image runs perfectly fine on Mac (headless or not).
