The vncserver is currently started with `vncserver :1`, whereas this
script just calls `vncserver` — is that intentional/desirable?

Would it be a little cleaner/more robust if we didn't assume only one
Xvnc instance was running and instead write the pid of the process we
start to a file and use that file to check the status?

Regards,

Joshua



The vncserver program is a shell script and uses :1 as the default display.

The pid of Xvnc is written to a file already. The problem is, if Xvmc crashes, the pid file (and lock file) are left around, so just looking at the pid file existance, you can't tell if it's actually running or not.
