Linux – How to symlink binaries under /usr/local/util to the default searchable /bin

bashlinux

There are multiple binaries under /usr/local/util so I don't want to do it by running ln -s /bin/util_i /usr/local/util/util_i multiple times.

Anyway,what I want to achieve is that I don't need to type /usr/local/util/ to run binaries under it.

Don't copy into /bin if you can help it.

cp -sn /usr/local/util/* /usr/local/bin

But what you should be doing is adding /usr/local/util to $PATH.

Linux vnc : how to view the console

You need x11vnc to see the console session in VNC.

Though it sounds like you're not actually trying to view the console session on the computer, which is the session the local user is seeing when they sit at the computer. It sounds like you need a desktop environment. To get this, look into your ~/.vnc/xstartup file and add the command to start up the WDE you want when you start a VNC session, such as startkde & or startgnome &.

A step further, ditch VNC altogether and set up FreeNX and use NoMachine's client to connect to it. FreeNX is much better than VNC all around.
