Kurt,
This is what I do...
VNC server starts the first time anybody logs onto the system, via
/etc/bashrc (see beloow)
from then on, I just check that the job Xvnc is running whenever anybody
else logs on or does an 'su'
Here is what I inserted into /etc/bashrc...
# start vncserver if user is NOT post(master) or post(gres) AND
# if Xvnc is not found in list of tasks
#
if ! echo $USER | grep post ; then
if ! ps -A | grep Xvnc ; then
if ls $HOME/.vnc/$HOSTNAME*.* | grep : ; then
echo Removing old VNC server files...
rm -f $HOME/.vnc/$HOSTNAME*.*
fi
echo Starting VNCServer on screen :1 ...
vncserver :1
fi
fi
NB if the system crashes, you get left with a file /tmp/.X11-unix/X1, which
has to be destroyed manually before the above code will work again. But the
login dialog tells you that (if you log in in traditional text mode and not
X - under X I do not know what happens!)
Regards
Ceri Hankey
