The putty activities include opening a new telnet/ssh sessions to other machine. During opening of the session, I need to handle cases like new window pop ups, selecting correct options (yes/ no tabs) in the pop up windows. And when the telnet/ssh session to hostX is successfully opened, I need to successfully type some commands and logout of the putty client. Well I have used cnee to record these activities (say xnee_putty.xnl) and I am able to replay the same on this NX session of linux machine-A.

And I want to launch the cnee replay of  xnee_putty.xnl as a background process in machine-B. Here I don't open any NX display to run this program.

Running the process in the background is handled by the OS. In my
preferred shell (bash) i simply do:

  cnee tons-of-args &

note the '&'


if you want to replay to another display, either do it the X way:

   export DISPLAY=host-to-replay-to:0
   cnee -tons-of-args

or do it using --display option

   cnee -tons-of-args --display host-to-replay-to:0

Not sure what you mean with display. I assume display is in X
terminology. If so, yes you do need a display to replay to.

If you however want to automate stuff and not have a physical display I
suggest you check out the beatiful program Xvfb.
