Chris,
Thanks for your response.... But I'm still confused.... What should be the
process for starting/using vnc...
Should I :
1) SSH into the Linux box
2) Start the vncserver - keep this window running (and how do i know the
correct display number)
3) Start my client
4) Kill the vncserver from the SSH term
5) Kill the SSH term
This effectively keeps a SSH Term running for the duration, while I'm
running VNC Client. But it also kills the VNC server when finished...
OR...
1) SSH into the Linux box
2) Start the vncserver - create multiple windows, each with a different
display number
3) Have the user(s) start their client(s)
But don't I still need to know how to stop/restart the VNC session on the
Server. Otherwise, it never gets released.

Subject: RE: logging out of display manager...
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.
