How to start vncserver at startup

[davidbd]

Hello,
I installed Ubuntu server with x server ( minimal install ) on a computer without a screen.
I would like to boot and then connect to the server via vnc client or via x-server.

currently I installed ssh server on the linux server and ssh client ( putty ) and x-server ( cygwin-x ) on the PC .

Then I used the ssh to connect to the server and then run vncserver and other tools.

I know there is an option to enable the XDMP service and connect with external x-server running on other machine.

I whould like to enbale the following at automatically start up:
- XDMP server
- VNC server

What are the excat step to do so and what is recomendad ?

Regards,
David.

If you just want vncserver to start at system startup, you can just add it to the correct runlevel: this will probably be /etc/rc3.d/ (console login, not graphical, with networkin support). To make vncserver startup automatically just add a symlink here to /etc/init.d/vncserver

# cd /etc/rc3.d
# sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/ssh S99vncserver

The number S99 just means it will be executed as the last program. (numbering goes to 100). This way just makes vncserver start automatically...
Hope it helps!

Why the heck would you link it to ssh?
