I put the VNC viewer for Mac OS X on a thumb drive and managed to get it
to work with SSH and the script I was working on the other day. It
doesn't seem to recognize the "localhost:25901:1" part of the command
though, so I had to increase "sleep 10" to "sleep 100" to have enough time
to deal with entering "localhost:25901:1" in the dialog box. I also had
to use a different path for VNC viewer and a different path for bash than
the paths I used for GNU/Linux.
See below.
If there is a way to make that work better, let us know, if you don't
mind.
