just wondering which directories have to be in the path for to launch vncserver?
problem is, i have set up my system with a monitor till it was running how i wanted, and have webmin installed, but webmin doesnt seem to be able to affect my PATH properly, and therefore i can't start vncserver from webmin until i know which bits of the path must be included for vncserver to start.
its either that or i need to find the configuration file for the default x server in solaris, i searched a bit for this on google, and most places seemed to think it was in /etc/x11/Xorg.conf but i dont have one there. i cant run kdmconfig, because the only output i can get it to give me on the screen im using is 640x480 - then kdmconfig complains that the terminal is too small.
a simple way i can think of to run vncserver from webmin is to create a cron job and assign it to root or whoever else you want it to run as, but dont make it active.
then you can manuall run the cron job from webmin, see if that works
erm, sorry to be ignorant, but i dont know how to do either of them, i dont think, i'll have a look via google, but if ur still around and its easy to explain...?
thanks
p.s. ive found the ssh thing, but it doesnt seem to allow me to type any commands
