Is there a v4.0b3 win32 command line 'kill' switch?

[Steve Palocz]

If it is installed as a service, try 
Net stop winvnc4
Net start winvnc4

The commands you are looking for have been replaced with -start and -stop

Winvnc -stop
Winvnc -start

Winvnc -help shows
C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4>winvnc4 -help

Command-line options:
  -register <options...>               - Register WinVNC server as a system service.
  -unregister                          - Remove WinVNC server from the list of system services.
  -start                               - Start the WinVNC server system service.
  -stop                                - Stop the WinVNC server system service.
  -status                              - Query the WinVNC service status.
  -help                                - Provide usage information.
  -noconsole                           - Run without a console (i.e. no stderr/stdout)

There only appear to be config options per the registry settings when I
run winvnc4.exe -help - and the list is maybe longer than my 50 line DOS
box can display...

I'm trying to start vnc from a batch file, but I only want one instance
running at a given moment. It would seem logical to run something like:

: to stop any running instances...
winvnc4 -kill
: to restart vnc...
winvnc4 -noconsole

or, from the last version's documentation:

WinVNC_new -kill -run

But the -kill switch doesn't seem to exist in this version. Is there an
undocumented equivalent, or another way to achieve this?

(I've tried -stop to kill a server in user mode but this complains about
not finding a running service).

Thanks for giving this your attention,
