Hello

I am looking for documentation or examples of systemd unit files to start TurboVNC on computer startup.
In my use case I want to start a few sessions of TurboVNC each session runs with a different user.

The server is based on Debian and will run in heartless mode.

Thanks
Claudinei

TurboVNC doesn't have a proper systemd unit file, but it retains the init.d startup mechanism from TightVNC as a legacy feature.  If your distribution has init.d backward compatibility, then you can use the init.d startup mechanism by editing /etc/sysconfig/tvncservers to specify the X display numbers, user accounts, and (optionally) Xvnc arguments for each TurboVNC session that should be started.  Then you can run 'sudo systemctl enable tvncserver' and 'sudo systemctl start tvncserver'.
