That leaves the other solution. Did you manage to start vncserver from batch or at? It's easy and it forces that the commands are not connected to any terminal at all so no sub-process can see that the telnet session has ended. > > Regards, Henry. > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Beerse, Corni" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 21 February 2002 12:04 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: Varient of 'Grey Screen of Death' - Answers Anybody ? > > > Is the entire vncserver process stopped or just the > windowmanager (dtwm)?
