You can open a VNC session and select to save it. If you chose to save it WITH the password you have everything you need for your batch file. Save the session to a local folder (or for security save it to a flash drive so you can take it with you) When writing your batch file tell it to run the saved VNC session and direct it to the shortcut that you just saved. It will look something like this if read with notepad:
[connection] host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=xxx password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [options] use_encoding_0=1 use_encoding_1=1 use_encoding_2=1 use_encoding_3=0 use_encoding_4=1 use_encoding_5=1 use_encoding_6=0 use_encoding_7=0 use_encoding_8=0 use_encoding_9=0 use_encoding_10=0 use_encoding_11=0 use_encoding_12=0 use_encoding_13=0 use_encoding_14=0 use_encoding_15=0 use_encoding_16=1 preferred_encoding=16 restricted=0 viewonly=0 fullscreen=0 autoDetect=1 8bit=1 shared=0 swapmouse=0 belldeiconify=0 emulate3=1 emulate3timeout=100 emulate3fuzz=4 disableclipboard=0 localcursor=1 scale_num=1 scale_den=1 The "x" would represent the IP, port, and password. I currently use this now.

I am a computer teacher and wanted to monitor the machines in my classroom using vnc. To do this I am going to use a batch file that will bring all the machines in my classroom up on my computer screen at once instead of having to go to each machine and log into it.

On what system? `vncserver` on unix is a script to call `Xvnc`. You can peek in there to see how it works and have your script do these things a little more hardcoded. `vncserver` on a windows machine comes with shortcuts that can be used. Peek in the properties on how this is used. The command line can be used in your script. `vncviewer` on both unix and windows has a bunch of options. Start it from the commandline with the -help option and you see the options you can use. One of the options is to use a *.vnc file. You can create this from a running session under the <F8> menu. You will be prompted to include the password for the session, if you do so, the password is encrypted in the file, however, the entire file is usable for everyone, so keep it on a save place.
