How to restore the session if vnc server is configure as daemon mode xinetd

[Dhillon, Gurjit]

We are using the default one to connect to the server through vnc, we
have lots of users who login to the server and connect to vnc server, to
reduce some of the steps for the users to connect through vnc , I was
looking something, as it seems vnc with xinetd is not going to work for
me , is there any other techno.. which can help me to connect the server
as I am able to connect through vnc , but will also give the option of
saving the session for future use.

Thanks for all your efforts you are giving to me.

Thats one of the nice features of inetd (or xinetd): As soon as the 
connection ends, the processes are cleared.
If you want re-entrant vnc-sessions, you cannot use inetd or xinetd.

If you want these re-entrant vnc-sessions, you should not use inetd or 
xinetd. If you want re-entrant vnc-sesions, you can either sitck by the 
default method where users start vnc manually or you can add the Xvnc 
binary as an additional X11 server. I've done this in the past on HP-UX 
using the CDE display manager and on Redhat (7.x) using gnome or kde. 
Scan the mail archive or vnc-websites for details.
