Nope, not a single thing there. The directory /var/spool/mail/ exists,  
but it is empty.

Hmmm big difference.
The output when i double-click on the rfbserver.sh script:

The output when the cron job starts the x0rfbserver:

[root at 203-59-15-1 brock]# cat /proc/19332/environ | awk  
'BEGIN{RS="\000"}{print}'

I can see that that could be a problem, but I wouldn't know how to fix  
it. Or what it means
