# x11vnc_loop:
#
# Example startup script for connecting x11vnc to an X display
# at system boot up and having it reconnect when the X server restarts.
#
# Run, in rc.local say, via, e.g.:
#
# /path/to/x11vnc_loop 1>> /var/tmp/x11vnc_loop.log 2>&1 &
#
# call with argument "once" or a number to limit the number of loops.

# The following needs to be customized:
x11vnc_cmd=x11vnc # or use full path (or set PATH).
pwfile=/path/to/vnc/passwd # always use a password
display=:0 # display of interest
restart_sleep=5 # pause between X server restarts.
# modify cmdline args if desired:
x11vnc_args="-display $display -rfbauth $pwfile -forever -nap"
# you may need to customize the "grep", etc, below in get_xauthority_file()
