in thread Like to modify /usr/bin/vncserver to parse a config file

Thank you for the reply. I should have mentioned that I would like to submit a pull request upstream (to the proper tigervnc server project) to enable that script to find a parse out the config file. It is needed for another submission: a systemd user service which I have already written.

For the user service to be general, any standard options (switches) should be captured in the config file so that they are not hard-coded into the service itself. Minimum needs: Check for $HOMEDIR/.vnc/config and source it, parse it, and use the options therein in the call to Xvnc as they do in their script.

    Check for $HOMEDIR/.vnc/config

    This should get your started:

    use Config::Tiny;
my $CONFIGFILE = "$ENV{HOME}/.vnc/config";
if (-f $CONFIGFILE) {
    my $cfg = Config::Tiny->read($CONFIGFILE);
    $geometry = $cfg->{_}{geometry} if exists $cfg->{_}{geometry};
    # ... etc.
}
