The -desktopsize argument controls the TurboVNC Server session's virtual
screen geometry, not the TurboVNC Viewer's window size/position. The
TurboVNC Viewer does not currently have an argument that does the
latter. However, what I'm saying is that the TurboVNC 3.0 Viewer already
has a set of features intended to address your workflowin a more
intuitive/user-friendly way. That set of features was funded by a
company that is doing exactly what you are trying to do. Rather than
manually specify the size/position of all VNC connection windows, the
TurboVNC 3.0 Viewer can automatically arrange those windows in a tiled
pattern. This is more flexible than your approach, because it allows
you to temporarily maximize a single connection window in order to
examine it in more detail, then you can press a hotkey to re-tile it
with the other windows. Combined with automatic scaling, this
effectively lets you "zoom in" on a specific connection window and then
zoom back out to see all connection windows.
If the current window tiling feature in the TurboVNC 3.0 Viewer needs
improvements, such as better multi-screen support, then I am happy to
make those improvements. However, from my point of view, a
TigerVNC-style -geometry argument is unnecessary, since we already
address the same problem in a different way. Thus, I am not willing to
devote any of the TurboVNC General Fund toward implementing such a
-geometry argument. That money is better spent improving the existing
window tiling feature.
Your choices are:
1. Test the tiling feature in the TurboVNC 3.0 Viewer and give me
feedback regarding any improvements needed in order to support your
workflow. (For instance, that feature could be made to respond to the
-span argument, thus allowing the screen real estate of all monitors to
be used when tiling.)
2. Provide specific funding for the implementation of a -geometry
argument in the TurboVNC 3.0 Viewer.

Hi,
the issue is not the multiple connections, that already works.
The question is, how to move the viewer window to a specified location
and specified size
vncviewer_rqCG9IM8rT.png
if i use the command
vncviewer.exe 192.168.248.131 /fitwindow /desktopsize 960x540+1920+0
vncviewer.exe 192.168.248.131 /fitwindow /desktopsize 960x540+1920+540
vncviewer.exe 192.168.248.131 /fitwindow /desktopsize 960x540+2880+0
vncviewer.exe 192.168.248.131 /fitwindow /desktopsize 960x540+2880+540
the window still opens on my first monitor, original size (left part
of the screenshot), instead of being opened on the second monitor
(+1920 shift to the right) with the size 960x540
right part of the screenshot is the desired outcome, that can not be
achieved by any of the command line options present in the /help window
Thank you :)

TurboVNC 3.0 (pre-release builds available here:
https://turbovnc.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases
<https://turbovnc.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases>) includes a
feature that
allows you to connect to multiple VNC servers with a single
command line
(this can be accomplished by separating the various VNC display
names,
and arguments specific to each, with --) and then tile all of the
connection windows.
Please give that feature a try and let me know if it is an effective
solution for your workflow. I can make minor improvements to it if
necessary. (I'm not sure, for instance, if the feature adequately
supports multiple screens at the moment, but I'm willing to make that
improvement.)
