I used the following script to start x11vnc on my wife's machine so that I can access her desktop when she needs my help. <code> #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/killall x11vnc if [ "$1" != 'stop' ]; then sleep 3 x11vnc -display :0 -usepw -xkb -forever -ncache_cr >/dev/null 2>&1 & fi </code> I ran vncpasswd on her machine, as her user, to set the password. I then use "vncviewer 192.168.6.21:0" to see her desktop. I left it as a script to run from her desktop so that she would have to "invite" me, or could "uninvite" me, by running the script.
