Finally getting to this and am having difficulties. If I read the man page on x11vnc it tells me to use -unixpw but it never lists it as a valid option. The FAQ locate <a href="http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-userlogin"> here</a> indicates that I should run "x11vnc -unixpw -display WAIT:cmd=/tmp/display" (where /tmp/display finds the current display name, script was copied from the page mentioned above) but I get an error indicating -unixpw is not a valid option, see below: ... 19/01/2007 17:19:38 x11vnc version: 0.8.2 lastmod: 2006-07-12 19/01/2007 17:19:38 initialize_screen: fb_depth/fb_bpp/fb_Bpl 24/32/2560 19/01/2007 17:19:38 *** unrecognized option(s) *** 19/01/2007 17:19:38 [1] -unixpw 19/01/2007 17:19:38 For a list of options run: x11vnc -opts 19/01/2007 17:19:38 or for the full help: x11vnc -help .... x11vnc -help mentions -unixpw as an option but does not state it as one. Am I missing something? I am trying to run this at the command line so I can test it.

Good idea though. You probably aren't going to like it much under VNC either then, unless it is just for an occassional remote check on progress.</blockquote><div> Yes, occassional use but on the fly. Say an Engineer is working on a project and then leaves for home. They stay logged into their workstation. Now say they want to work from home on the same project, the very one they have up. They want to be able to connect to their display remotely. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Can I assume there is no functionality built into KDE & Gnome to start > a process when a person logs in (I am able to do this) and stop it > when they log out (this seems to be the problem)? All processes normally stop when you log out unless they do something to dissociate from the terminal. Connecting with vnc and disconnecting don't count as logins, though. Can you be more specific about what you want to happen?</blockquote><div> The Engineer stay logged in. I'm off on vacation this week but when I get back in the office I will try the x11VNC that was suggested. It sounds more along the lines of what I need. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-- Les Mikesell <a href="mailto:lesmikesell@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> lesmikesell@gmail.com </a> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list </a> </blockquote></div> -- Jamie Bohr </blockquote></div> -- Jamie Bohr
