I call your way of doing it a "passive" one. If that's really what you're
looking for, very well. But your users can launch a viewer, and before connecting to
the vnc server, make sure it's in "shared desktop" mode and in this way a new client
won't disconnect existing client. Or in the server, there is an option to set
"permanent" shared mode. For this, you have to read the doc.

I meant every scheduled job opens one *single* vncconect. Can't this work? I
don't know much about the syntax of "at", but I suppose there must be a way of
configuring a job so that if it doesn't start properly after a certain time, the job
is killed.
