I've had the issue of the vncserver not starting after a bad restart where the /tmp/.X11-unix/X79 file has not been deleted during the shutdown (Usually a power outage).
My current solution has been to have a script in cron.hourly that checks if the status is running, and if not it deletes the /tmp/.X11-unix/X79 file and then starts the service. Is there a better method to have it delete the file during the start process? Not sure if something else is supose to delete this file if it wasn't deleted during a normal shutdown. Before I would have to manually ssh into the machines to delete the file, and manually restart the service. (now systemctl). Fedora 16 by the way. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
