# apt-get install -y hubzero-mw-service

# mkvztemplate amd64 wheezy ellie

Then:

# hzcms configure mw-service --enable

# maxwell_service startvnc 1 800x600 24

Enter an 8 character password when prompted (e.g., "testtest")

This should result in a newly create OpenVZ session with an instance of a VNC server running inside of it. The output of the above command should look something like:

This should report an SSL connection with a self signed certificate and output text should end with:

---
RFB 003.008

If you see this then you successfully connected to the VNC server running inside the newly created OpenVZ session.

Clean up

# maxwell_service stopvnc 1

Which should give output similar to:

Killing 7 processes in veid 1 with signal 2
Killing 5 processes in veid 1 with signal 15
Got signal 9
