VNC is an acronym which stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is software which allows graphical desktop connections. On the AS/400, a PC can connect to an XWindows session using VNC.
VNC refers to:
- the server software
- the server process which accepts the incoming connection
- the client viewer software

Prerequisites
Starting VNC server processes
STRPTL CLIENT(*VNC)
[2] OR
CALL QP2SHELL PARM('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/vnc/vncserver_java' ':n')
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(DISPLAY) VALUE('systemname:n')
where:
- systemname is the host name or IP address of the iSeries system where VNC is running
- n is the numeric value that represents the display number that you want to start[3]
Ending VNC server processes
CALL QP2SHELL PARM('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/DeveloperTools/vnc/vncserver_java' '-kill' ':n')
where n is the numeric value that represents the display number that you want to terminate.[3]
The command above should be run by the same userid which started the VNC process. Otherwise the error below will be displayed.
Can't find file /home/USERPRF/.vnc/SERVERNAME.COM:1.pid You'll have to kill the Xvnc process manually
