White Box Robotics PC-Bot 914 Quick Start Manual page 16

You should not see any instance of x11vnc running.
To restart the service after it has been terminated, simply execute the command below:
$ x11vnc -display :0 -rfbauth /home/wbr/.vncpasswd -auth /home/wbr/.Xauthority -forever -bg
To connect to the PC-BOT desktop remotely, use vncviewer (in Linux) or any Windows-based VNC
client. In Linux, execute the following command to connect:
$ vncviewer IP-of-PC-BOT:0 # you need to know the IP address of the PC-BOT on your local
network the password has been set to 'whitebox'. See the x11vnc link above for details on setting the
password. To exit vncviewer, hit Ctrl-C in the terminal window or click X in the vncviewer window.
If using Windows, a good VNC Viewer to use is Real VNC:
If using Linux (Windows is also supported), then you can use:
All VNC applications are supported and often a VNC viewer is already installed in your Linux OS.
Player Server – Running in the Background at Start-up
The Player server is started in the background at startup. To accomplish this, the following lines were
added to /etc/rc.local
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/player ]; then
echo "*********** Trying to run player **********"
/usr/local/bin/player /home/wbr/wbr914.cfg &
fi
To verify it is running execute:
$ ps aux|grep player
You should see the instance of player running. Since it is running in the background, the only way to
terminate the service is by executing:
$ sudo kill -9 `pidof player`
password is wbr
To verify the service has been terminated, type the following command:
$ ps aux|grep player
There are two ways to restart the server: 1. Re-running the rc.local script which will run the server in
the background; 2. Opening a new terminal window and manually starting player.
