How to get xvfb display number

Question

How can I get the display number that was used while Xvfb was running? For example, someone starts

./Xvfb: 14

I need to somehow get the display number used 14.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

on a unix system, run

ps -ef|grep Xvfb 

and he should list it there using the process

Answer 2

I can think of two ways:

• Locate the lock files, which usually take the form \ tmp.X * -lock, where * is the display number;
• Look at the log files, usually \ var \ adm \ xfvb.log, but maybe anywhere. There should be a line that says which xfvb screen started to listen.
