what is the ssh command to start tight vnc on my remote linux server?

Q. i am new to linux and ssh and trying to setup my dedicated server and want to use tightvnc but can't seem to start the tightvnc server.

can anyone tell me the ssh command line to do this please?

Answer
You probably want to run the server everytime it boots, do this, make a simple script in /etc/init.d/tightvnc. Something like this:

#!/bin/bash
#
vncserver :1 -name sesion1 -depth 16 -geometry 800x600

Of course, change the depth like you would want.


Run the command : update-rc.d -f tightvnc defaults

and that will add it to the rc start up list.


If you are just trying to turn it on for testing purposes or whatever, you should be able to do something as simple as:

vncserver :1

once installed.

Can i set my linux server up to only allow a vnc connection from an IP that I text to an e- mail address?

Q. I know that's a tall order, but I'm hoping somebody out there in hacker land picks up on this. Ideally I would be able to just text the IP and a port to open up an already running service on the server.
OK, 1st guy your rude, and this server is running remotely, 2nd I'm going to be connecting via a web browser from sites that I do not already have unique information from. 3rd think ultra secure, and eat another hot pocket.
