vncconfig(1) Virtual Network Computing vncconfig(1) NAME vncconfig - configure and control a VNC server SYNOPSIS vncconfig [parameters] vncconfig [parameters] -connect [-view-only] host[:port] vncconfig [parameters] -disconnect vncconfig [parameters] [-set] Xvnc-param=value ... vncconfig [parameters] -list vncconfig [parameters] -get Xvnc-param vncconfig [parameters] -desc Xvnc-param DESCRIPTION vncconfig is used to configure and control a running instance of Xvnc, or any other X server with the VNC extension. Note that it cannot be used to control VNC servers prior to version 4. When run with no options, it runs as a kind of "helper" application for Xvnc. Its main purpose when run in this mode is to query the user how new connections should be handled (provided this feature is enabled). The -nowin flag can be used if you always want the query support but don't wish to clutter the desktop with the settings window - alterna- tively the -iconic option can be used to make it iconified by default. When run in any other mode, vncconfig is a one-shot program used to configure or control Xvnc as appropriate. It can be used to tell Xvnc to connect or disconnect from listening viewers, and to set and re- trieve Xvnc's parameters. Note that the DISPLAY environment variable or the -display option must be set as appropriate to control Xvnc. If you run it on an ordinary X server (or on a version 3 Xvnc) you will get an error message saying that there is no VNC extension. OPTIONS -connect [-view-only] host[:port] Tells an Xvnc server to make a "reverse" connection to a listen- ing VNC viewer (normally connections are made the other way round - the viewer connects to the server). host is the host where the listening viewer is running. If it's not listening on the default port of 5500, you can specify host:port instead. The -view-only option specifies that the server must ignore all key- board or mouse events sent by the client. -desc Xvnc-param Prints a short description of the given Xvnc parameter. -disconnect This causes Xvnc to disconnect from all viewers so that the VNC desktop is not displayed anywhere. -get Xvnc-param Prints the current value of the given Xvnc parameter. -list Lists all the parameters supported by Xvnc. [-set] Xvnc-param=value Sets an Xvnc parameter to the given value. Note that some of Xvnc's parameters are read only once at startup so that changing them in this way may not have any effect. PARAMETERS vncconfig also has parameters of its own which can be set on the com- mand line. These should not be confused with Xvnc's parameters which are manipulated with the -set, -get, -list and -desc options. Parameters can be turned on with -param or off with -param=0. Parame- ters which take a value can be specified as -param value. Other valid forms are param=value -param=value --param=value. Parameter names are case-insensitive. -display Xdisplay Specifies the Xvnc server to control. -iconic When run as a "helper" app, make the window iconified at startup. -nowin When run as a "helper" app, don't put up a window.

VNC was originally developed by the RealVNC team while at Olivetti Re- search Ltd / AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. TightVNC additions were im- plemented by Constantin Kaplinsky. Many other people have since partic- ipated in development, testing and support. This manual is part of the TigerVNC software suite. TigerVNC vncconfig(1)
