UNIX/Linux: Find Display VNC Server Session Number

There is a way to find the display vnc server session number in your UNIX or Linux operating system in case you forgot which display session you are referring to. Execute this command:

 # netstat -a -n | grep -i 590* | more
 tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5901            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
 tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5902            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
 tcp      450      0 10.6.3.143:56659        10.6.3.143:1527         ESTABLISHED
 tcp        0      0 10.6.3.143:1527         10.6.3.143:56659        ESTABLISHED
 tcp        0      0 10.6.3.143:5901         10.6.14.9:2315          ESTABLISHED
 tcp        0      0 10.6.3.143:5901         10.6.14.9:2913          ESTABLISHED
 tcp        0      0 :::45971                :::*                    LISTEN
 

From above command, you can find the display vnc server session number at the <ip-address>:590*. As above example, the display vncserver session number is 1(5901), 2(5902).
