Running VNC from batch

[Marc Cram]

This is pretty much what I wanted to know.

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.

What do you want to do from batch? 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.
