UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

The vncpasswd command was launched.
Running vncserver on AIX 5.2 works fine as root. But I want execute it in the inittab I get this error message:

Can't get password: not a tty?

Any ideas what's up?

Thinks!

Not sure if the inittab thing is right, but I think you should double check if the the password was set for that user (check its ~/.vnc/passwd file).

Could you post the line from inittab?

Personally, I'd stick a script in /etc/init.d (this is linux - change this to whatever AIX uses), and then place the appropriate K* and S* scripts in the runlevel directories, rather than trying to fire this up through /etc/inittab directly.

In my inittab, I launch this command:
toto1:2nce:sh /tools/system/job/inittab.sh >/dev/console 2>&1



and in my script inittab.sh I have :
/usr/local/bin/vncserver 1>/tools/system/log/vnc.log 2>&1


The error message is in /tools/system/log/vnc.log



NB: in inittab.sh, I have others scripts launched in the boot
I want absolutly used a script and not write the other scripts in inittab...


I hope it's clear....??
