hi all.
i have trouble getting x11vnc to run automacically while system start. I have created a script in
/etc/init.d
and activated it via
/sbin/chkconfig myscript on
. That works. Just for reference, here’s the script:
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: myvnc
# Required-Start: $syslog $remote_fs
# Should-Start: $time ypbind smtp
# Required-Stop: $syslog $remote_fs
# Should-Stop: $time ypbind smtp
# Default-Start: 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: start x11vnc on startup
# Description: start x11vnc on startup
### END INIT INFO
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting myvnc "
## Start daemon with startproc(8). If this fails
## the return value is set appropriately by startproc.
/sbin/startproc /usr/bin/X11/x11vnc -ncache -display :0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start}"
exit 1
;;
esac
But I get an error from x11vnc itself:
23/12/2008 13:38:31 ***************************************
23/12/2008 13:38:31 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:0)
*** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue.
I’m new to this *nix stuff and don’t know what to do next to solve this. Someone got a cluebat?
Thanks for reading.
