[ILUG] rc.local for vnc

[Ben Edwards]

I have put the following line at the end of rc.local giving me:-
---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
     R=$(cat /etc/redhat-release)

     arch=$(uname -m)
     a="a"
     case "_$arch" in
             _a*) a="an";;
             _i*) a="an";;
     esac

     echo "" > /etc/issue
     echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
     echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue

     cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
     echo >> /etc/issue
fi

su ben -c '/usr/bin/vncstart :5 > /tmp/vnc.log'
---------------------------------------------------------------
The last line works find if run for root (it starts up the vnc server)  But 
douse not seem to do anything at startup.

Any ideas,
Ben
