hi Miranda --
unfortunately I am a total noob in the Linux/CentOS world, so... where
would I find that init.d script if there is one?
thanks,

hi all,
I've inherited a server with CentOS 6.4
the VNC Server starts up with the OS and its screen resolution is set to
800x600.
I found that I can set the resolution by specifying the -geometry
switch, but I can't find where the call to start the vncserver is set in
order to change it.
I know that it's not in /etc/xinetd.d (the only file there is rsync)
here are the contents of ~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
[ -r /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n

any thoughts? TIA
Could it be started via an init.d script? That's how we do ours...
Thanks!

No worries, we all have to start somewhere.
With CentOS 6.4, your init.d files should be located in /etc/init.d,
which is a link to /etc/rc.d which contains all the hardlinks created by
the chkconfig system. There might be a call in /etc/rc.local to run a
vncserver if the person who set up the system did not have a dedicated
init.d script.
In our case, we have a server that starts a dozen vnc servers when it
boots and so it made more sense to set up a proper init.d script that
uses the "service vnc_setup start|stop" syntax.
I suggest, if you are planning to set up a proper init.d script, that
you take a look at the man pages for init, chkconfig, and service. They
should give you enough information to become reasonably familiar with
how the system works and will also point you at some helpful additional
reading. Also, use one of the simpler init.d scripts as a template and
make modifications to point your new script at the appropriate vnc
binaries, with whatever arguments you need.
Thanks!
Miranda
