Can UltraVNC be automated?

Post by venussoftop »

Hi all

I was curious if UltraVNC could be automated. I would like to do so from my VFP application. I have already retrieved the external IP address for conenctivity purposes and I ask the user to pass them to me so I can start the viewer with given IP but they have to start UltraVNC and they are not comfortable (read paranoid) with using it as a service.

Please advise.

Thanks and regards

Setup the server to only run as an application when they start it (via desktop link?)

Use the sc_exit command.
-sc_exit
*Server quit when viewer disconnect
*Don't exit when desktop switch to UAC/winlogon

Server command line:

In my experience it's best just to convince the customer that they can either trust you or live without remote support.

Hi supercoe

Thanks for your response. I tried this switch locally and I love it. Now onto more questions which I will post separately in this regards.

Kind regards.
