Re: [Thinstation-general] x11vnc question

[Don C. <don...@ya...>]

I never use that package, so I never made it pretty, but basically whats happening, is that during init, a cron job is added to start x11vnc sometime in the future, as X is not yet available. The cron job calls that script periodically, and when X is available, but vnc is not started, to start vnc. I think someone came back later and said, start it with --forever, and remove the cron job. The whole approach is a little awkward, and I would prefer that vnc was started in .xinitrc

 Hello, x11vnc is not auto-starting in my build even though I have the package xorg7vnc as active. 
What is check_x11vnc doing in this script?
if [ -z "`pidof x11vnc`" ]; then
x11vnc -forever  -q -usepw -httpdir /lib/www/html/x11vnc -o /var/log/x11vnc &
  # Now we have got it started stop this cron nonsense:  sed -i s/"*\/1 \* \* \* \* \/bin\/check_x11vnc"// /tmp/crontab  crontab /tmp/crontabfi
I need the process to run so that I can remote in to support users when needed.  Shouldn't I need:
x11vnc -forever  -rfport 5900 -q -usepw -o /var/log/x11vnc &
if so, what is
"sed -i s/"*\/1 \* \* \* \* \/bin\/check_x11vnc"// /tmp/crontabcrontab /tmp/crontab" 

doing?
