qemud-vnc - handle vnc connections
qemu-vnc [ options ] | [ <name> ]
qemu-vnc is designed as an executable library to be invoked by qemu-adm .
qemu-vnc does everything on localhost by default. For connections from external
hosts it is recommended to use ssh with user SYSUSR .
Without a valid option (see OPTIONS below) qemu-vnc tries to establish a connection to
name. The name have to be listed in VARDIR/vncstatus . qemu-vnc
uses (requires) an external program called vncviewer . The connection is always to localhost:PORT,
whereat the correct PORT of <name> will be read from VARDIR/vncstatus automatically.
Without any parameters qemu-vnc prints the (vnc) status of all running virtual
machines from VARDIR/vncstatus to stdout.
Options is a series of getopt-style short options. Invalid option will be ignored. Valid options take precedence overall.
-w Iterate through all currently running registered virtual machines to check if vnc is enabled and (re)write
the result to VARDIR/vncstatus . This option is required by qemud-init .
-V Print version info and exit.
qemud-vnc uses VARDIR/vncstatus to save and read information about
registerd virtual machines with vnc enabled.
In <name>-qemud.rc the DISPLAY variable have to be set accordingly to enable vnc through qemu-init .
The PORT will be calculated automatically based on the port of the tcp monitor redirection.
Attention: The here mentioned DISPLAY variable has nothing to do with variable from X!
