What I have tried to do is force VNC to restart the session using a command in the .twmrc menu called Restart.
I have several VNC sessions running on a RedHat 7.2 server. I want each user to be able to shutdown and restart their VNC connection if they want (for instance, if they make any changes to their shell settings). I thought that sending this command: vncserver -kill :1 | sleep 3 | vncserver :1 would kill the VNC session running on port 1, wait, then restart the server on port 1. Well, the kill command works fine, but the session never starts up again. I even tried sending the commands via su: su username -c "vncserver -kill :1 | sleep 3 | vncserver :1" but that did the same thing. The only way to make this work so far is I allow the users to Quit (not Restart) and then I start their session manually. Very stinky, but the users don't restart their sessions too frequently. If anybody has any ideas, I would be happy to hear them. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce Douglas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 11:41 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: logging out of display manager... > > > Hi... > > Relatively new to VNC..
