Check if there is a /tmp/.X11-unix/X3 file.
It is suppose to be removed with a normal shutdown, but sometimes isn't and 
causes the vnc not to start. I used a cron.hourly script that would check if vnc 
serve running, and if not, it would remove the file, and then use systemctl to 
restart the service.
