Hi all
An _unattended_ NT4 domain controller
running RealVNC4 server (free version)
needs to connect to a listening viewer off site.
(Using sTunnel with full certificate exchange,
so don't worry about security ;)
On the server, a PythonService runs a script that uses
subprocess() to run the command "winvnc4 -connect host::port".
But it gets only "Unable to locate existing VNC Server."
Took a while to figure out why, but it looks like the IPC
from the process belonging to the connect command
to the process belonging to the existing server
has to go through the systray icon.
When nobody's logged on, there's no tray icon!
Has anyone ever connected this way?
I guess most people connect in the other direction,
but i can't, because the server belongs to a company
that forbids opening a port in their router. [:]
I'm hoping to get it running this weekend - any chance?
If the free version can't do it, can a paid one? (Which one?)
regards
jim
