Startup?
Authored by: SeanAhern on Jan 06, '02 02:28:02AM

Anyone tried making VNC run at boot-time by creating a script in StartupItems? I have been trying it, and I'm getting problems with my /bin/sh script. Now, I've been a bourne shell user for years, so I'm a little confused about what I'm doing wrong. (Especially since I only get the error during the boot sequence, it's a bit time-consuming to debug.)

So, anyone got a working StartupItems script that starts up an OSXvnc server and keeps it up?

Try these instructions from the www.osxvnc.com website.

I've tried the startup script that was posted with OSXvnc when the homepage was still alive, and it launches the server but garbles my screen if I connect. The app appearing as a GUI, even on the login screen, is quite annoying; I am going to try pulling it out of the package and if successful, prepare a fink package so the server has a more Mac OS X -compliant bevaviour.
In the mean time if anyone has succeeded in making a startup script, please let all know.

BTW the garble doesn't happen when I launch the service via the GUI app. Any clues?
