winvnc4 commandline sequence/syntax

[Dave Stoft <stoft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, thanks; I'm learning.

This sequence should be robust for any valid config parm:
- independently modify HKLM registry for PortNumber
(doing this first avoids the unknown of when changes become active)
(seems this could also be done after -register but before -start)
- winvnc4 -register
- winvnc4 -start
- vncconfig -service (optional verify that PortNumber  was changed)
(modifying HKLM can work here for some, but not all, settings)
- use VNC in service mode
- winvnc4 -stop
- winvnc4 -unregister


Remaining question; why does the following fail?

>winvnc4 -register PortNumber=5977

where 'PortNumber=5977' could be any setting. According to what
I read in the docs, command-line config settings take precedence
over settings like this placed in config files so the the command-line
method should be the simplest of form of command-line methods
for changes to settings prior to starting the service. In this case, the
requested value is different from either the 'user' value or the 'service'
value so it is clear that any parm other than the '-register' switch
is simply being ignored. Neither 'user' nor 'service' settings are affected.
I'm curious as to why. If there is an additional command-line switch
or a setting elsewhere to enable command-line config data settings
I have been unable to find it. What did I miss?

Thanks in advance.

Dave
