Sorry for Off Topic, but this is the smartest bunch of people I know ;-)
I am creating a few scripts for easy VNC admin of remote servers
For any remote server, I create an ssh tunnel by doing sth like this:
ssh -2 use..emotehost -p ${SSH_PORT} -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -o
HostKeyAlias=${HOST_KEY_ALIAS} -o ServerAliveInterval=0 -o
CheckHostIP=no -L ${LOCAL_PORT}:127.0.0.1:5900 -f -N
Then I open the VNC screen in the built-in Screen Sharing by doing this:
open vnc://127.0.0.1:${LOCAL_PORT}
My problem is as follows:
- If I create SSH tunnels to multiple remote hosts, only the first one
is opened by Screen Sharing. any subsequent calls to "open vnc://127.0.0.1:other_port
" result in Screen Sharing just showing the first VNC window. I am
thinking that Screen Sharing just will not make multiple VNC
connections to the same host (127.0.0.1) even though the ports for
each separate tunnel are different.
- I want to open multiple VNC windows at the same time all connected
to local forwarded ports.
What I have tried:
- putting multiple entries in /etc/hosts pointing to 127.0.0.1, but
that does not "fool" Screen Sharing into opening more than one VNC
screen to 127.0.0.1
