I note the addition of $ARGS - this time without braces...didn't matter
- still won't work - it returns an error...
# service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 1:craig -c: missing argument
/etc/init.d/vncserver: line 31: su craig -c "cd ~craig && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 ": No such file or
directory
And to answer your first question...yours has been the only response so
far...
;-(
I have beaten this thing to death and I really want to understand why I
can't make it work. If I eliminate the $ARGS variable completely...I
still can't put the arguments into that line without causing the
error...
for example...
"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f .vnc/passwd ] && \
vncserver :${display%%:*} -geometry 1024x768\""
same error
