Whoops, I just got back in town and realized I left a big portion of my
xstartup script for VNC off the example if gave earlier.
1. I took the ampersand off the window manager
2. I added vncserver -kill :`echo $DISPLAY |cut -f2 -d: | cut -f1 -d.` (This
is from memory and may not be correct. but it should issue a command similar
to "vncserver -kill :1".
What this does is not process the second line until I exit the window
manager. Then it finds the display number and tells vncserver to kill the
process on that display. Closing my connection to VNC. I guess what I would
like to know is if there are any problems with having the execution of the
xstartup script put on hold until you close the window manager.
If you are wondering why I am trying to do this. I would like to be able to
move from machine to machine, and then kill the process later without having
to telnet to the server. Just a quirk on my part as I would save a few
seconds each time I need to close a server.
Thanks,
Chad
