cannot kill vncserver

[Daniel Senderowicz]

Hi Robin,

The result of "netstat -a -n | grep 590" :

tcp        0      0 :::5900                     :::*                        LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 :::5901                     :::*                        LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 :::5902                     :::*                        LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 :::5903                     :::*                        LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 :::5904                     :::*                        LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 :::5905                     :::*                        LISTEN      

that appears to be related to vnc (ports 590x). The socklist is
not a recognized command.

Thanks.

Daniel
