Well, you have not to reboot in case it stops or you like to restart it.
Just run from the terminal command line or put those into a little (re)-start script
for manually starting / restarting and place it in to /usr/local/bin
like this example:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# name :x11vnc_start.sh
# dir: /usr/local/bin
# restart / start x11vnc daemon
#
/usr/bin/killall x11vnc >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2
/usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -auth guess -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass
echo "Status : " $?

Save / copy the above into -> /usr/local/bin/x11vnc_start.sh
Make it executable:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/x11vnc_start.sh

and to restart x11vnx run as:

Code: Select all

sudo x11vnc_start.sh

In addition - just a small fine tuned variation for the rc.local method, regarding defined exit status:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# x11vnc
/usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -auth guess -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass || exit 0

exit 0

This make sure rc.local will always finish successfully, regardless of the success to setup x11vnc.
