You do not have to be logged into the server (box A) to run vnc server (box A). VNC server (box A) runs headless and the session that starts when vnc server (box A) is started is running even before you use vnc viewer (box B) to connect to it the very first time. Log into the server (box A) one time start vnc server (box A) and log out of the server (box A). VNC server (box A) will still run after you log out of the server (box A). Do the remote connect to the vnc server (box A) with vnc viewer (box B) using the IP and password. Using the vnc viewer (box B) does not log you in with a new session, it connects you to the session that was started when you started vnc server (box A), which was still running after you logged out of the server (box A). When you have temporarily connected with vnc viewer (box B) to the session that was already running on the server (box A) that you were no longer logged in or connected too just prior to using the vnc viewer (box B), start your process and then just close the vnc viewer window (box B) clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner. The vnc server (box A) is still running on the server (box A) and is now running your process but you are not logged in or connected to the server (box A). Closing the vnc viewer (box B) did not terminate the vnc server (box A) session on the server (box A) but it did disconnect you from the server (box A) and the vnc server (box A), but the session and process are still running because it did not stop just because you disconnected. You could reconnect with the vnc viewer just to see with your own eyes that it did not stop. It baffles me that you don't seem to be getting this. It is easy and not complicated. I have a desktop running but no one is logged in and the monitor is not on. If I turn the monitor on I will be at the log in screen and have to log in before I can use that box. That box is running vnc server and apache. I connected to the vnc server with my laptop started vmware workstation on my desktop box, fired up a virtual Machine (VM) which has a vnc server running on it also and then disconnected from the entire desktop box. I can now connect to the main box OS or the VM OS with vnc viewer any time because they are running even when I am not logged in or connected through the vnc viewer. I can do whatever I want because they are both running vnc server. And no one is logged on to the main box OS or the VM OS until I reconnect using the vnc viewer. I am doing this email on my desktop from my laptop in one room and my desktop is in the other room. If I wanted to do this from my desktop I would first have to log in because I'm not logged in but I did connect with the vnc viewer on my laptop. I even still have OpenOffice.org running from the last time I connected with the vnc viewer on my laptop. OpenOffice.org was still exactly where I left it and I wasn't even logged in. I did not do any of it while I was logged into the desktop while sitting in front of it. I just started the desktop and the servers on it and logged out and turned off the monitor. It has been running that way for a while now. Does any of this make sense yet? -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
