Hello, who can help with vncrepeater? I have installed it from System/Software, i see it there, but i don't see it in System/Startup. When i logged in i see vncrepeater.conf in /etc but it doesn't work i think.
What happens if you run vncrepeater from the command line? There doesn't seem to be an init script provided.

If this doesn't help, you'll need to provide a description of what you're attempting to do with vncrepeater. I've only heard of this used in a large data center full of VNC Servers. Also, it does not offer [much] security.

Here is:
Next time, please make sure you "sandwich" your text between two rows of backtick characters ` (which themselves will be invisible in the preview) looking in something like this in the editor:
```

but looking like this in the rendered forum:
Your Pasted Text as preformatted text with fixed width font

1111 (note with fixed-width fonts the numbers are right-aligned)
That's much easier to comprehend than a picture.
The output looks fine, it should work now. So basically, there is no init script, you will have to create your own or add the command to /etc/rc.local.
Oh, ok, tryed to start vncrepeater
root@OpenWrt:/etc# vim vncrepeater.conf

Now i have vncrepeater under my linux mint, i want to move it into router under OpenWRT. Some people connect to my repeater, and i connect to their workstations with TurboVNC.
my rc.local looks like this
# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
exit 0
"/root/irq0"

I just noticed that the call to vncrepeater reported an error:

You will have to fix this first (at first glance, I'd say it tries to run as a different user which doesn't exist).
OK - the command exit 0 quits the execution, so your command "/root/irq0" is never executed. You need to change the order. You could try to add vncrepeater to this file, somewhat like:
vncrepeater &
You can also create a procd init script, see the instructions in the Wiki.
