.Hi,
If you kill XVNC it kills the window manager as well no need to change
the window manager so it doesn't run in the background. Here are my
instructions for running and killing vnc for my users at work
To use word perfect or any Xwindows program over the network fro
your laptop.
1. Log on to tent or awning server
2. Quit Menu so you have a prompt
3. Start vncserver by typing
vncserver
Note the name and number given to the desktop
4. Minimize kermit by clicking on - in upper right hand corner
5. Click on VNCviewer icon on desktop
Type name for example sun:1 moon:1 Sun:2 ect this will be what
vncserver gave you.
Cancel any and all attempts to call internet
6. Type password
7. Do Word Prefect
8. Close Wordperfect
9. Alt F4 or chose close on vncviewer
(upper right hand corner small icon gives menu)
10. Maximize kermit
11. (Type) ps
12 find pid for XVNC
13 (type) kill pid
The pid is the number shown by ps for xvnc
14 (type) ps
Should only have bash and ps listed
15. Office to get back to menu or exit to log off
___________________________________________________________
If you close the telnet session on kermit you will need to type
ps -user username
(username is what you type at logon)
ps without options only shows the processes you started in current session
Hope this helps
