Manage the VNC / screen sharing password remotely

Thanks to the original author, taxi ( for the tip ), etc....
This does work great in ARD 3 using a template( via Send UNIX command ). I had set the VNC password on an image for a mass deployment of over 400 iBooks, and did so without knowing how reset the VNC password remotely should it be compromised ( short of physically touching them all, or reimaging )..

THANKS FOR THIS; I have a less then layman's knowledge of perl, and never would have figured this out.. now i have an easy way to change the password remotely should I have to...
