Teamviewer like program for linux? Also a shell script question.

[Ironic Man]

I've been trying to run a minecraft server for me and a few friends, had xp on my server computer, could turn it on remotely with wakeonlan over the internet, then i would use teamviewer to shut down the minecraft server safely and shut down the computer, until it started to act up. As a last option I decided to move out of familiarity and into linux.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 yesterday and the thing hasn't crashed yet. The only thing i'm worried about is connecting to it, is there a program like Teamviewer where I can remotely control the computer across the internet?
Also, I can't get the minecraft software to start up on boot. I added the .sh script to start up, but it won't go. I need to go to the file, open it, then it asks me how to open it, I have to choose open it in terminal so it will run properly. Can that be automated in some way?

Thanks all

EDIT:
I saw something like remote desktop built into ubuntu already, but that seems to be local network only, not wan.
And i wouldn't know how to access it from my win 7 computer.

Nevermind the disagree. You're right.
I initially thought it didn't work because well, it didn't used to. but at least version 5 works. don't know about 6 though.

Wow.. I'm an idiot, I just noticed that, for some reason I had it in my head that it wasnt...
Would you know if its cross-compatible between platforms?

VINO VNC Server, It should work on ubuntu, Seeing though it's made for gnome desktops.
Just get a good VNC Viewer like UltraVNC's and set everything up.

Real men use SSH.

For your minecraft server all you need is SSH and screen and you're up and running.

You could run the server without a GUI to do so. Since you're unfamiliar with Linux it might be a very good way to learn or extremely scary.

The team viewer scheme works for now, thanks ineedateam.

And boris, maybe when i'm back in two weeks I'll attempt this shh thing, when I have more time. Is it possible to revert back from shh?

Also, can anyone help me with my Shell script problem?

If you try SSH and it breaks, or you don't like it. There's no way to "revert" you just let it be and don't use it. It won't break anything.

As for your script problem. It's most likely not executable. To fix this. you can either use the GUI tool and set the execute permission on user group and others.

You could also do it through the terminal.

cd path/to/script/
chmod +x script.sh
