Under linux, it should be as simple as "vncserver -kill <display>" Under Windows NT, 2000 or XP, I do not know of any way to stop a server from the command-line only. I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know what it is, never having looked into it.

I know that on Linux that once a RealVNC server is running, I can communicate with it with vncconfig. It seems that on Windows, I can communicate with the running RealVNC server with winvnc4.exe (like telling it to connect with a listening system). What I have not found is a way to get a RealVNC server, on Linux or Windows, to exit without killing the process. On Windows it is possible to do it by right clicking on the icon, but neither seems easily stopped from the console. In Linux this is important because each time the server is run and killed, the user has to delete lock files to avoid problems with which display the server is running. Is it possible to stop a RealVNC server on Linux from the command line, or any other way without "kill -9 $(pidof vncserver)" ? And is it possible to stop a running server on Windows from the console as well? Thank you for any help on this!
