Same as -many +-loop Create an outer loop restarting the x11vnc process + whenever it terminates. -bg and -inetd are ignored in + this mode. Useful for continuing even if the X server + terminates and restarts (you will need permission to + reconnect of course). Use, e.g., -loop100 to sleep + 100 millisecs between restarts, etc. Default is 2000ms + (i.e. 2 secs) Use, e.g. -loop300,5 to sleep 300 ms + and only loop 5 times. -timeout n Exit unless a client connects within the first n seconds after startup. -inetd Launched by inetd(1): stdio instead of listening socket. |
