In this stage (beta), there are two programs functional:
|
|
|
|
LinuxVNC <tty number>
|
|
monitor a virtual console (text mode) of Linux. You need
|
|
root privileges, or at least be in the "tty" group, because
|
|
it reads /dev/vcsN and writes /dev/ttyN.
|
|
It follows the same idea as WinVNC, x11vnc or OSXvnc, i.e. it
|
|
takes an existing desktop and exports it via RFB (VNC), just that
|
|
LinuxVNC exports text.
|
|
|
|
VNCommand <command> <args>
|
|
executes <command> redirecting stdin from a vncviewer and stdout &
|
|
stderr to the vnc clients. This might be renamed to vncTerm if
|
|
there are some term capabilities added (up to now, bash doesn't look
|
|
nice). Colours and other ANSI sequences need to be added.
|
|
|
|
My original plan was to create a program named vncTerm. It was meant to
|
|
overcome incompatibilities between different TERMs, but I found "screen" to
|
|
be just such a program. Maybe once some time in the future I'll make a
|
|
patch for screen to use VNConsole to export it's contents via RFB...
|
|
|
|
These two programs are a simple application of LibVNCServer with a small
|
|
console layer in between (VNConsole). You can use them under the terms
|
|
(not vncTerms ;-) of the GPL. They where written by Johannes E. Schindelin.
