Thank you. It turns out there are several problems with that command line. I'm not sure why I had the -T option specified, but it requires an argument. The -s and -D options say they are supposed to have an IP address, yet I was using a domain name. I'm not sure how strict the code is on that point, but I didn't test it. The -D switch is documented (per the usage help compiled-in to mvpmc) as: -D display VNC server IP address[:display] yet the command: # mvpmc -s 192.168.0.203 -D 192.168.0.203 -T --web-port 80 Incorrectly formatted VNC server '192.168.0.203' returns an error. Apparently the display component is not optional, and thus shouldn't be shown in square brackets. The --web-port option is correctly documented: --web-port port configuration port as requiring a port: # mvpmc -s 192.168.0.203 -D 192.168.0.203:0 --web-port mvpmc: option `--web-port' requires an argument but I had been following the wiki, which showed: --web-port [port] --web-port ## the default is 80 Yet clearly the port is required, and thus there is no default. I've updated the wiki to correct these items. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
