Re: [SLUG] Init script to start VNC server as user (Debian)
Simon Wong wrote: Okay, so know I'm trying to start a VNC server with an init script as a given user (on Debian). As root I have tried running: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ~ # start-stop-daemon --start --chuid simon --user simon --exec \ /usr/bin/vncserver --chdir /home/simon/ -- -geometry=800x600 vncserver: Could not create /root/.vnc. It appears that this is not actually changing to my user BEFORE starting the process as the man page states. It seems to be trying to write to root's home dir. Actually it appears that it DOES chuid to your user but doesn't update the $HOME envariable and therefore tries to write to ~root/.vnc as the user. Maybe try to prefix this command with env HOME=/home/simon start-stop-daemon Another option to set this might be hiden in /etc/vnc.conf, maybe something to do with $vncUserDir. I couldn't find a bug on this so I'm assuming I'm not doing it right. Anyone know how to make this work, or do I need to make a script that uses su? This seems to work but it's not l337: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ~ # su simon -c 'vncserver -geometry 800x600' New 'voyager:1 (simon)' desktop is voyager:1 Starting applications specified in /home/simon/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/simon/.vnc/voyager:1.log What does su simon -c 'echo $HOME' give? On my debian with tcsh it gives /home/amos (i.e. the user's home dir), which would agree with my explenation above.

RE: [SLUG] Scirpt Via browser Gives code=SERVER_RESPONSE_CLOSE !
Title: Message The script can be also be executed from the command line. It can take anywhere between 2 to 3 hrs to complete. So does this mean that I cannot get it to run via browser ? What about parsing the call via LWP ? If the browser times out would the LWP url called still run anyway ?

Assuming your web browser is apache, I believe there is a Timeout parameter set in the httpd.conf file. Keep in mind that the problem may be the browser timing out, and any web page request that runs for more than a minute should really be optimised or delivered in a different way. - R From: Louis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 12 October 2004 8:21 PMTo: Roger BarnesCc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [SLUG] Scirpt Via browser Gives code=SERVER_RESPONSE_CLOSE !

Seems the keyboard module starts with k in X.org, whereas with XFree86 it must have started with K.

unindent the ftp SCRIPT . . . SCRIPT I think the closing SCRIPT needs to be at the beginning of the line. Correct! or just unindent the final SCRIPT. SCRIPT tells it to look for SCRIPT.

Well SMTPE is only the time base, you can't encode the automation that way. There is a commercial software package called Disk Mix by otari that can do it but it is a $4000 price tag. Does anyone out there know of a linux alternative?? Well assuming that the desk uses MIDI automation, it is theoretically possible, but probably a bit of fiddling around.
