Further to my previous mail, I'm not sure that the current VNC Viewer
for Mac OS X releases support server names specified directly on the
command-line, although specifying a ".vnc" file on the command-line
instead should work.
VNC Servers are referred to in one of two ways:
<name|ip>:<port|display>
<name|ip>::<port>
Where "name" is a DNS name, "ip" an IP address (IPv6 addresses must be
enclosed in square brackets for clarity), "port" a TCP port number and
"display" a VNC display number in the range 0-99. The single-colon
format assumes display values of 100 or above to be port numbers.
"localhost" should be equivalent on an IPv4-only host. If a system also
supports IPv6 then specifying 127.0.0.1 indicates that IPv4-based
loopback should be used, whereas "localhost" will normally try using
IPv6 and fall-back to IPv4 if that fails.
It sounds like this might be the best general approach:
127.0.0.1::25901
It clearly specifies "IPv4" and the port. I'll try the vnc file with the
Mac OS X viewer to see if it works.
Thanks much, Wez.
