Is there a more graceful way of listing vncserver sessions than just getting the list of running PIDs?
How do you list your vncserver
sessions?
This article says to do this:
$ cat ~/.vnc/*.pid
5910
6790
16589
21891
... and many more
Using this method, I could write a script to check each pid, but there has got to be something better.
Is there a better way? I'd like to see something like:
$ vncserver -l
Session User Started Status Blah
1 jess 3/24 19:00 Active ?
2 jess 3/21 14:00 Suspended ?
EDIT: For example. I have six sessions running, but I can only use one of them. All six show up as running processes. It would also be nice to see a list for other users too; I just found a server with 95 VNC sessions. I have no idea which ones are active.
Solution 1:
I always use ps -ef | grep vnc
, then pick out the parts I need from that.
Solution 2:
ps -ef | grep `whoami` | grep vnc
