Auxiliary VNC Servers (7)

1. If the last time the VNC servers were started for another instrument:
   1. Prepare appropriate content for pull-down menu(s):
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> cd ~/.vnc
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> rm .fvwm2rc
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> rm xstartup
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> ln -s /usr/local/lick/bin/remote/ao/xstartup
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> ln -s /usr/local/lick/data/remote/ao/.fvwm2rc
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> cd ..
   2. Start VNC server number 7 with the following command:
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> vncserver :7 -depth 24 -listen tcp -alwaysshared -geometry 1910x1160 -IdleTimeout 2000000 -name "AOTest"
   3. Now, set files back to the instrument currently on the telescope (e.g. Kast):
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> cd ~/.vnc
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> rm .fvwm2rc
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> rm xstartup
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> ln -s /usr/local/lick/bin/remote/kast/xstartup
      • user@shimmy.ucolick.org> ln -s /usr/local/lick/data/remote/kast/.fvwm2rc
2. If the last time the VNC servers were started was for ShaneAO:
   1. Start VNC server number 7 with the following command:
      • vncserver :7 -depth 24 -listen tcp -alwaysshared -geometry 1910x1160 -IdleTimeout 2000000 -name "AOTest"
