VNC RC Scripts

vncrc, unix rc scripts for VNC

make two symbolic links to this file /etc/rc.d/rc.5/S92vnc -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/vnc

and /etc/rc.d/rc.5/K36vnc -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/vnc

K36vnc stops the vnc service at shutdown or reboot, and S92vnc will start the vnc server when entering runlevel

KSH:

same here symbolic links from init.d/vnc to /etc/rc2.d/S99vnc.

The names bob, sally and jim are usernames.  Modify accordingly.  The
corresponding numbers :1, :2, :3 for VNC may also need to be changed.

Make sure that /etc/init.d/rc.vnc has the correct ownership/permissions:

chown root:other /etc/init.d/rc.vnc
chmod 744 /etc/init.d/rc.vnc


Next create symbolic links to that file as follows:

cd /etc/rc0.d
ln -s ../init.d/rc.vnc K40rc.vnc
cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s ../init.d/rc.vnc S99rc.vnc
