Automating VNC authorization process through command line
I am receiving a input as vnc://172.16.41.101&passwd=test
What i want to do with this input is :
1. Extract the IP address.
2. Extract the password.
3. Launch vncviewer with the ip and password provided.
4. All this should this be automated, once the input is received.
extracting the ip and password is easy. then i launch the vncviewer with the ip provided, but how do i pass the password to that without prompting the user for the password ?
Answer
Assuming (by the tags) that you are using the vncviewer program from the command-prompt i think you could do something like this:
echo "password" | vncviewer -autopass host:display
using your example: vnc://172.16.41.101&passwd=test
echo "test" | vncviewer -autopass 172.16.41.101
