Because I'm using xinetd and xdm, each time a user connect through xdm a new vnc
server will be started. That's why only one client can connect at a time. But then
other clients can join using vncconnect.
I managed to solve my problem by writing a python script which is testing port 5500 on
the computer potentialy runing the listening vncviewer. This is not the best solution
but it works. If anyone have an idea to improve the solution.
I can not use at and launch vncconnect, because if there is no listening viewer,
vncconnect freezes everything

import os,sys
import socket
serverHost = '192.168.1.100'
serverPort = 5500
command = 'vncconnect'
sockobj = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
sockobj.connect((serverHost, serverPort))
sockobj.close()
os.system('%s %s' % (command,serverHost))
sys.exit()
except:
print 'Unable to connect'
sys.exit(1)

Not true. It's possible to connect simultaneously several clients/viewers to one
single server. You have to specify the option that you're using "shared" mode.
For your next question about timeout, sorry, I don't know. Hope someone else knows the
answer.
But I have an idea. Could you write a script to use the "at" command? In this way, I
think it's the system scheduler's job to run them in different processes.
Good luck
