Running OSXvnc-server directy

Vine
1

Hi,

Running Lion 10.7.2
and have installed the 4.0 beta

I am trying to run OSXvnc-server directly from a script, so I don’t have to run Vine server and perform clicks (as I have only remote access to the device)

Using the following params
./OSXvnc-server -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth vncpass -alwaysshared -localhost -ipv4

All starts fine, but when I connect it gives me the following errors

Eventually it dies.
However when I run the vac from within the Vine server window, all works ok.

What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance

I have been able to run OSXvnc-server by making a LaunchControl plist for it. I looked at how Vine calls the program to use the same arguments as much as possible. This works, but unless you really want to remotely start and stop the server it is much simpler to start the System Server in Vine.

thx a lot.

However that did not help. Apparently the problem is that I need to run it off the dmg downloaded. If copied does not work anymore.
