Maxwell Service
Install
# yum install -y hubzero-mw-service
Configure
# mkvztemplate amd64 squeeze shira
# hzcms configure mw-service --enable
Test
# 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:
