Have you tried the nohup command in Linux (ie: ./venueVNC_script.sh & nohup)
It allows a service to run after you log off. I use this with my bridge's
script.

=======================================
Colleagues
I am hoping that someone out there might have a "solution" to an issue I have.
Long story short, I have a dedicated machine outside our "network" which allows
remote sites to easy connect to it as part of a VenueVNC session.
The problem is that this machine is not easy accessible (located in a machine
room) and cannot be moved. The problem is that I would like to setup a system
that everyday AG operators can connect to and launch a VenueVNC session when
required (Note: the remote machine is a Linux machine). Obviously there are a
few options, including such example like:
* Shell scripts that remotely connect (maybe via ssh) and start the
VenueVNC service;
- An issue to consider is that ssh connections time out and when
it does, it kills the VenueVNC session.
* A webserver that users can log into and via a website and launch
appropriate service.
* Some other remote means (has any used a terminal server to do this);
- Note, I am not keen on using VNC, as it sends clear text passwords and
I would like to make the process as simple as possible.
Obviously there are a few issues, such that the service may be required to
started in different Virtual Venues and the duration for the session will
differ.
Therefore, in an effort to save "re-inventing the wheel", has anyone
implemented a system which would solve the problem posed above that I could
re-use???
Many thanks in advance,
Jason.
