CentOS - Feb 2010 - a VNC client suitable to monitor 15 desktops in 1 screen, automatic reconnect. Exists?

Hello,

Is there a VNC client out there that can permit me to run it 15 times
simultaneously and scale them smaller so that I can view 15 little
remote screens (at the same time) in my one big monitor?

Also, is there a way to make it so if the PC is rebooted the client
automatically reconnects ?

The goal of this is to have one big monitor to view in realtime what
people are doing in their PCs. Without interaction from me with the
mouse/keyboard.. all I need to do is watch.

A plus if this VNC client is compatible with MacOS/windows

iTALC might meet your purposes.  http://italc.sourceforge.net/

They haven't had a release in awhile though.

HTH,
Matt

Any vnc client should be able to be run 15 times.  I'm not sure if they 
all do scaling.

There's something called fl_teachertool that is intended for classroom 
use with LTSP-booted terminals that you might be able to adapt:

I assume you are planning to notify the users affected that their 
privacy is being compromised.
