Re: tiger vncserver continues running after exiting desktop

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for your suggestions, I really appreciate them! 
However, in my case, I prefer not to use a system-wide TigerVNC server 
installation.

I was able to solve the issue by adding the following line at the end of 
my .config/tigervnc/xstartup file to terminate Xvnc after XFCE exits:

netbsd-raspa4$ cat .config/tigervnc/xstartup

..
...
....
/usr/pkg/bin/startxfce4
pkill Xvnc

I’m not sure if this is too drastic of a solution, but it seems to work 
fine.

Best regards,
Ramiro.
