Anthony, you can't post it to the list - it yanks mime attachments. If you want, email it to me and I will be quite happy to toss it up on our webserver so people can access it.
As for usefulness: I don't know about Linux opinions, but I would kill for that ability on WinVNC. I suspect that Linux users will love it once they try it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Oganesian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, 2002-03-24 15:39 Subject: question about proposed feature for Xvnc : Hi, : : I am new to the list and hope to find some help : with the following question. : : We were faced with a problem of using Xvnc to provide : a single application to a significant number of users. : We were trying to deploy an industrial application that : would start every time a user connects to the Xvnc : (via inetd) without asking the user to login through : the XDM. : : In collaboration with Lee Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : we have developed a patch for Xvnc. The patch adds : a new command line option ("-startapp"), which should : be used together with the "-inetd" option. Command : specifies the application to be run by Xvnc once : it starts up. : : In addition, code responsible for connection : through inetd was modified to add support for : SO_KEEPALIVE (to ensure that Xvnc shuts down once : the peer client is gone) : : We tested the patch on our systems : - Linux, : - SCO Open Server 5.0.6 : : We would like to solicit feedback about usefulness : of this feature. If it is considered useful what : are common ways of making this patch available? : Is posting it to the list an acceptable practice? : (it is only 23k). : : Best Regards, : Anthony Oganesian : --------------------------------------------------------------------- : To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: : 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY : See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html : --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
