I do have a script running to restart x11vnc. If it crashed, the script
works perfectly. But this morning instead of crashing, it froze. And the
more I think about it, the more I think there must be some underlying
issue. I've got a lot of CentOS 7 machines running Rivendell, as well as
some older RD machines built on Debian. Have any of the Debian ones ever
frozen? I'm not sure.
But the thing is, this machine gets a lot more VNC connections than any of
the other machines. And people stay connected a lot longer and do a lot
more. On the others, someone might reload a log or insert a spot, then
disconnect. These people stay connected for hours, doing exactly what they
would if they were live in the studio. I've never had a client do that
before.
I have one other client doing live remote shows, but their people don't
have remote access to Rivendell; they run everything, music and all, from
their homes.

I try to be ssh'ed into the machine when using x11vnc and I have a script
that will restart it if it does crash and go away.
all the best,

via the Comrex link.
Most of the time it works flawlessly, but once in a while the
x11vnc
server will either crash or freeze. When it happens, the current
song will
run out and they'll be silent for several minutes while they go
looking
for someone to VNC in and fix the problem.
This morning, x11vnc froze; I had to use kill -9 to kill it, and
when I
restarted it, the new process immediately froze. Only rebooting
the system
got it working -- not something I like doing when I'm an hour
and a half
away and there's no one at the station.
I have tried downloading the latest x11vnc code and compiling it
manually;
that hasn't helped. The logs don't offer any clues.
I know this isn't strictly a Rivendell problem, but I'm
wondering if any
of y'all have encountered it. Is there a better option than
x11vnc? I
suppose I could try vino.
Thanks,
