For the automatic startup of service daemons to occur, the proper setup must be done in /etc/rc.d/init.d Use chkconfig to see if this has been done (it is likely it hasn't). chkconfig --list | more look for vncserver. you will want to start it up in at least run states 3 and 5, i would assume. chkconfig --level 345 vncserver on will enable vncserver to be started up automagically. also, the proper links, etc will be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d so that the service command for starting/stopping vncserver can be used (also /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start|stop|restart|status will work) So, does vncserver show up in chkconfig --list ?
