For relative paths, you can just use ../ for each directory you wish to go 'up'. For example, if you had the following directory structure:



--dir_a
--file a1
--file a2
--sub-dir_a
...

You need to call the executable from the parent directory by using ../scoreSTOP

FWIW, ./ will look in the present working directory.

You could always edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and remove the gateway entry. Without a gateway, there's no way to access the internet.

Then, set the file to be immutable:

Cool... thanks, Karl.

Actually, I was confusing the listening port -100 with vncserver's web/java port (typically 5800).

I think bodhi just had a typo. I'm sure that he meant to type:

vncviewer -listen

No. By default, the program takes the number specified (in this case 0) and adds it to 5500. If you were to specify 5500, the app would listen on port 11,000 (5500 + 5500):

Oops, sorry. I misread your question. I thought you wanted to "Reverse VNC" (rather than "Reverse SSH").

Yes... see my signature below for "HOWTO: Reverse VNC".

Be advised that it does not work with the latest version of Ubuntu (Gutsy 7.10).

Just for clarity, what exactly did you have to do in order to get it working.

Thanks,
