Odd. I *know* I checked the man page on this and never found it. I have no idea why.

But doesn't that refer to VNC as a service, not as a program? I want to be clear about this because some of the people I'm working with do not want VNC as a service or starting every time they boot. It should only start when it is run and never be seen as a service. (It's been a long time since I've worked much on Windows, but if I remember and understand, a service would be started and stopped at boot or logon and controlled by Windows, as opposed to the program being started and stopped solely by the user.)
