Quek,
You mustn't omit the -once option that Steve mentions in his reply. For some
reason, the server reset isn't handled correctly with dtlogin. As I
understand, this will mean that you will be logged out correctly, but also,
that the your Xvnc session is also terminated. I have been using a script
that calls Xvnc with the -once option, and continually restarting Xvnc. This
means you have to reconnect as well. Hopefully someone will have a better
idea.
Shaddy.

Subject: RE: Login window
It is very strange!!! I did what you said, meaning that I used the query
option and presto, I got the login window. BUT, after I have logged into the
CDE environment, I can't log out??!! The same error message i mentioned
the last time appeared:
The request to service this action has failed for the following reason :
TT_ERR_NO_MATCH. There is no running program to handle this message, nor is
there a static ptype to start such a program, check whether ... (truncated
off for unknown reasons)
So, I tried out your whole method by first creating a script file (abc) in
the directory /mydirectory/vnc and containing :
/mydirectory/vnc/Xvnc -query my_workstation_IP -geometry 1024x768 -cc 3
-deferupdate 200
Then I created another file (ef) as you have mentioned, it goes like this :
/mydirectory/vnc/abc
Then I linked it as follows :
#ln -s ef /etc/rc2.d/S98vnc
I have checked that all files are executable. But the server simply cannot
start, no matter now many times I reboot. No log file to look at either.
Also, this time, i have commented out all the commands in xtartup. Please
enlighten me again!!! Thank you very much.
By the way, you are right. I was using the perl script vncserver.
