I enter in the raspberrypi4 server machine from the client machine
using ssh and I start the server normally with $vncserver command. Then
I connect to the machine using tigervncviewer, XFCE4 session or CTWM
session, result is the same. When I exit XFCE4 or CTWM desktop,
vncserver session continues running
That's how X servers work: unless something kills them, they continue to run.
vncserver (the one in /usr/pkg/bin) has an `-autokill' switch for this.
and I must kill it with
$vncserver -kill :1
That's what `-autokill' does.
I have vncserver also in a Debian GNU/Linux machine and when I exit
desktop vncserver is automatically terminated. I do not understand why I
get different behaviour in NetBSD.
Linux uses a different vncserver script which runs Xvnc the usual way, ie.
using xinit, and xinit, as the man-page explains:
When this first client exits, xinit will kill the X server and then
terminate.
therefore, it works on Linux. You can see this script in
/usr/pkg/libexec/vncserver
but, it's not usable on NetBSD without a bit of fiddling, it looks like. God
knows why it's included in the package. Same for the vncsession-start script
in that dir.
