     Maybe not.  Maybe this is intentional in order to prevent hackers from
programming robots to try all possible combinations.

     Anyway, if you want to open vncviewer from the command line, you could
first save your VNC connection to a config file and then use the command:
vncviewer -config <file>
to open it again.
