I've created a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called vnc.sh on my 4.3-RELEASE
system.
-rwxr-x--x 1 root wheel 363 Aug 6 18:06 vnc.sh
I can not get this script to execute at boot time. No errors, just no VNC.
'./vnc.sh start' and './vnc.sh stop' work perfectly. Other scripts in rc.d
such as apache and mysql startup scripts work fine.
Here's the file:
#!/bin/sh -
#
# initialization/shutdown script for VNC
# bdm 07/19/2001 taken from rc.local man page
case "$1" in
start)
/usr/X11R6/bin/vncserver && echo -n ' VNC Server START'
;;
stop)
/usr/X11R6/bin/vncserver -kill :1 && echo -n ' VNC Server STOP'
;;
*)
echo "unknown option: $1 - should be 'start'" >&2
;;
esac
Have I missed something obvious?
Also, how can I make this execute as a different (nonprivileged) user
within rc.d?
