Using vncserver -kill :1 should remove that file and shut down the vnc 
server. But (depending on your access control) you shouldn't need to 
shutdown/restart the server for each new workstation you're running the 
client on. You should just be able to give vncclient the IP address of 
the server, display number and password and the same session will appear 
on the new workstation.
