Tanks very much Rein we will try your suggestions. greetings Karel HC1AKP 2007/4/19, Rein Couperus <rein@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hello Karel, The PSKmailserver can easily be run headless: * Start 'vncserver :70 -geometry=1024*800' * Connect to the vncserver from any machine on the network: 'vncviewer pskmailserver:5970' * If you run a firewall which does not allow port 5970 you can run a ssh tunnel from the monitoring machine: - ssh -L 5970:localhost:5970 user@pskmailserver and connect to the tunnel with vncviewer localhost:70 * Start ./fldigi * Start ./rflinkserver.pl * Disconnect from the vncserver (close the viewer). You can now reconnect to the server any time, the vncserver provides fldigi with an X display and the server will go on running in the background. You can look at the server log via ssh user@pskmailserver, and tail -f server.log You can also run an apache server on the machine and monitor the server with a web browser, take a look at: http://131.155.192.172/health.php I've got a php script which will do that for you... PI4TUE has been run headless for 2 years now, and I have been able to control it from my camp site in Spain.... 73, Rein PA0R > We wondered if it would be feasinable to get a headless version of the > PSK mailserver.
