Using links to launch OSXvnc from command line

[d80h4g]

Hey,

I am trying to create a link so that I can launch the Vine VNC server from the command line.

The vine executable lives in /Applications/Vine Server/

So I want to create a link to the executable in the /usr/bin directory, so that I can launch the server by running OSXvnc-server anywhere in the shell.

I have tried creating a soft link, but that doesn't seem to create an executable file.

If I create a hard link using:

sudo ln OSXvnc-server /usr/bin/OSXvnc-server

Then I can execute OSXvnc-server from anywhere, but it runs with errors:

2006-12-06 11:33:36.210 OSXvnc-server[11634] Arguments:

2006-12-06 11:33:36.224 OSXvnc-server[11634] Started Listener Thread on port 5900


And the server is not accessible. It's as if it can't find the libraries it needs or something. The server works fine if I run it directly from the /Applications/Vine Server/ directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

stumbled across this post searching for something else, so I'll provide an answer for posterity... You should only need to do the following:

open /Applications/Vine Server.app/
