Red Hat Enterprise (s390) 6.7 vncserver respawn

mikenash · 01-18-2016, 02:35 PM

I would like the vncserver to restart after being stopped. I am trying to use "respawn" in /etc/inittab with entry: 1:2345:respawn:/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver. I also tried with the entry 1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/vncserver. Is this possible with respawn? Is there another technique that would work?

I am curious about this too, so did a quick Google search and found this:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...nittab-836399/

However I don't see any info under man init or man inittab for RHEL6.

Looking around on the search results, found this:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...inutes-895759/

Code:

x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/lxdm >& /dev/null

I don't have vncserver installed, otherwise I would test and post results...

Tried another variation but this also failed.
