[CentOS6 x64] Shell Script - Auto-set VNC password?

linuxtest21 · 05-21-2015, 04:39 PM

Hey guys,

I'm running CentOS6 x64.

I have a shell script to basically do all the commands I've requested. The only problem is that the user is asked to set a "VNC Password".

Can anyone assist so I can allow the user to set the VNC Password in the shell script itself so there is no user interaction required?

It must enter a password, then it must enter it again to verify it. That's all it requires from the user.

Command to install VNC:

Code:

yum install -y tigervnc-server

Here's an image of that the PuTTy requests.

You can try:

Code:

[someuser@localhost ~]$ (echo mypass; echo mypass) | vncpasswd

or

Code:

[someotheruser@localhost ~]$ echo -e "otherpass\notherpass" | vncpasswd

Note: the '\n' when used in combination with the '-e' option of echo is interpreted as a newline.

Up to you how to implement in your particular shell script.
