How To Setup Linux VNC Server In 3 Minutes

Using VNC And Redhat Linux

That should cover it.

Use the start-stop-daemon function in /lib/lsb/init-functions. Here's an example of using it from /etc/init.d/skeleton

Code:

do_start()

{

    # Return

    #  0 if daemon has been started

    #  1 if daemon was already running

    #  2 if daemon could not be started

    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON --test > /dev/null \

        || return 1

    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- \

        $DAEMON_ARGS \

        || return 2

    # Add code here, if necessary, that waits for the process to be ready

    # to handle requests from services started subsequently which depend

    # on this one.  As a last resort, sleep for some time.

}

Thank you boys:) ...but the lutusp report is concrete too:( ...and the catkin's report is too complicated:(( I found the posibillity in update-rc.d, btw I am Debian user...
