This describes a very simple configuration to launch VNC at Linux startup (as a specified user). aMule will be launched automatically with VNC. This will work in Slackware and distro based on the same init method. If someone knows how to modify it to make it work under other distros you are welcome to add it to this page. Thanks.
Add the rc.vnc script to /etc/rc.d
Modify user according to the user running aMule.
The rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X11 is there in case the server crashes or your mother/wife removes the power plug cleaning the room... ;-)
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup/Stop script for vncserver.
#
case "$1" in
'start')
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X1
/bin/su - user -c "PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/vncserver :1"
;;
'stop')
/bin/su - user -c "PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/vncserver -kill :1"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/rc.vnc { start | stop }"
;;
esac
Make it executable with:
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc
Modify the following files:
In /etc/rc.d/rc.local add:
# Start VNC server if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc ]; then . /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc start fi
In /etc/rc.d/rc.6 add:
# Shut down the VNC server if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.vnc stop fi
In ~/.vnc/xstartup (in home directory of the user specified above) add (change with your preferred aMule startup script):
amule &
