Great, thanx! From: Jonathan Hendry [mailto:jonhen...@mac.com] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 3:15 PM To: Joe Jones Cc: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com Developers Subject: Re: Is there any Cocoa API (or other way) to determine if an application is running in a VNC or ARD session?
Checking on my lsof -i suggestion now that I'm at work... I just set up a screen sharing session from my laptop to another machine. lsof -i on my laptop produced the following output: AppleVNCS 19770 jon 5u IPv6 0x69d9b2c 0t0 TCP *:vnc-server (LISTEN) AppleVNCS 19770 jon 6u IPv6 0x69d85a8 0t0 TCP dhc016942.med.harvard.edu:vnc-server->blur.med.harvard.edu:49152 (ESTABLISHED) Screen 19773 jon 4u IPv4 0x77a6270 0t0 TCP dhc016942.med.harvard.edu:64931->blur.med.harvard.edu:vnc-server (ESTABLISHED) I didn't have to run lsof as root. After ending the screen sharing session on the remote computer, lsof -i on my mac produces this output: AppleVNCS 19770 jon 5u IPv6 0x69d9b2c 0t0 TCP *:vnc-server (LISTEN) The AppleVNCS 'ESTABLISHED' socket is gone, as is the 'Screen' process and its socket, leaving just the screen sharing listening socket. Apparently the screen-sharing processes run as whoever is logged in at the console. If you want to find out if there's an active VNC session in progress, this appears to be a reasonable lead on how to do it, although it won't tell you who's controlling the computer at a given time or let you distinguish remote input from local input. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
