Hi,

I would check for established VNC connections this way:

netstat -tape | grep ESTABLISHED | grep Xvnc

As for warning connected users. If you see there is an established vnc
session on port 5902, you could simply do:

export DISPLAY=:2.0; xmessage -center -timeout 60 -file shutdown.txt
/dev/null 2>&1

How can I determine what the user responds, is there errorlevels or
anything like that? Hundred years ago I was making a lot of advanced
BAT-files in msdos, but have not done much of those things in Linux yet.
I could or maybe should find out reading man-pages, but have already
asked. :)

What is the reason for doing ' > /dev/null 2>&1'

You could create a list of established connections, translate it to
active displays (5902 -> 2.0 | 5903 -> 3.0 ...) and send out a
message.

Hope it helps
Olivier

It helps a lot, Thanks
