Hi I set up vnc on a pc under mandrake 8.2
my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file contains the following (1 2 3 and 4 are just line numbers. they are not present in the file) # # to start and stop vncserver # case "$1" in start ) #clean lock files rm -f -r /tmp/.X* #start vncserver echo -n "Starting vnc: " su - root -c "vncserver :1" echo sleep 5 su - philippe -c "vncserver :2" echo sleep 5 su - rasika -c "vncserver :3" echo sleep 5 1 su - testtest -c "vncserver :4" 2 echo 3 sleep 5 touch /var/lock/subsys/vncserver ;; stop ) # stop vncserver echo -n "Shutting down vnc: " su - root -c "vncserver -kill :1" su - philippe -c "vncserver -kill :2" su - rasika -c "vncserver -kill :3" 4 su - testtest -c "vncserver -kill :4" echo "done" rm -f /var/lock/subsys/vncserver ;; *) echo "Usage: named {start|stop}" exit 1 esac exit 0 when the lines 1 to 4 are removed everything is fine I can reach runlevel 5 and I can reach the first 3 accounts using vnc from another machine when I add the llines 1 to 4 I cannot reach runlevel 5, I stay at run level 3 all four instances of vnc server are created ( I do not have problem accessing them from another machine with vnc) but I get the following message INIT: switching to runlevel 3 INIT: sending processes the TERM signal starting hpoj: [OK] if i press return I get the prompt to enter login. I can log in with no problem but I cannot reach level 5 Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
