x11vnc server - creating multiple zombie processes - how do I stop it?
Recently started using x11vnc server on Ubuntu (10.04) for remote access over internet from win$ PC using SSL/SSH vnc viewer.
Thought I had it config'd ok then noticed many zombie processes for x11vnc, like 20+ in sys monitor sometimes.
I'm using terminal cmd: x11vnc -rfbversion 3.6 -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth /home/xxxx/.vnc/passwd -forever -bg -gui tray to start it.
How can I stop/avoid it creating the zombies every connect/disconnect?

Running pkill x11vnc should stop x11vnc plus any zombie processes it creates.
This will just send the signal SIGTERM for the program to terminate, and you will be able to run x11vnc after pkilling the previous instance of it.

Either A) ignore the zombie processes, they are probablyx11vncitself anyway B) Create a bash script to execute it a certain times etc. Ignoring 'em may be best.

That's not at all what this does. First, it's--clear_all, with 2 dashes and an underscore. Second, this option doesn't clear defunct sessions, it tells the x11vnc server to explicitly release the modifier keys (shift, ctrl, numlock, etc.) when entering and exiting the session to prevent any of them from getting stuck on.
