VNC Timer
Hello fellows,
I am new in this forum, i would appreciate your assistance.
I need a timming system for my vnc desktops (Cybercafe timer stuff).
Each unix user login to my server only with vnc, and i want to write a program that can generate timer tickets and have control on the time used for the session.
I am thinking of writing some shell scripts along with cron jobs, then later build a webbased user interface using perl or php.
is this that the best way to go about this?
I would appreciate some tips from you.
Thanx

OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
[server][::port|:display]
Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address,
it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter-
natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be used.
If the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is
specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed. Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024. If a display
number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port. Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the
same time.

Example 1: Start vinagre from the command line
example% vinagre
Example 2: Create a new top-level window
example% vinagre --new-window
Example 3: Connect to a specified VNC server and port
