Enabling log on vnc server and finding who all is logged in
Hi All,

I want to find out who all have logged into my setup(which is desktop with
Linux running) after certain period of time. I have vnc server running on
that desktop.
So I thought of checking the vnc logs for this information.

Below is the step which I have tried to enable logs on vnc server but it is
giving an error.

Is this the correct approach or something else can be tried to get this
information. *Any help will be appreciated as I am stuck on this for past
3-4 days.*

*STEPS to Enable Logs:*
nix:
For both VNC Server and VNC Viewer, run the application with the -Log flag:

vncserver -Log=*:stdout:100
vncviewer -Log=*:stdout:100

Logs will now be created in:

Server: ~/.vnc/.log
e.g. mypc.realvnc.com:6.log)

*ERROR:*

This error is shown in the logs.
