redhat ES

trini · 02-14-2005, 12:05 PM

I want to be able to start vnc on bootup...I've learned that put the vncserver in rc.local file on redhat 9.0 to start at boot up...When I try that in ES it doesn't work...

How would I get it to run on bootup...

thanks

You can put vncserver in /etc/rc.local but why need to? If you want to start it up the Redhat style, then look into 'chkconfig'. That's the command.

Yes, it should.

chkconfig --level 345 vncserver on

Type the command: su - and enter the root user password.
Then type the command: chkconfig --level 345 vncserver on

it looked like it did something....

but know my other question is will this be on permently or is this just a temp meaning it will be disable if the box reboots???

ok I tried it but still can't log in connection refused

thanks

Chkconfig will make it a permanent thing. Do a 'man chkconfig' and read what it does. You should know what commands you are typing in to your box

'chkconfig' doesn't start vncserver, it just starts it up everytime you reboot. Check to see if in fact vncserver is running. That's most likely your problem.

is it possible to have it running in the /etc/rc.local file

this is my goal to have it on boot up...I did this in RH 9.0 with no problems...was just wondering if it would work the same way

thanks

Yes, you can start it in rc.local, however, that is not the traditional way.
