When you run "vncserver", what happens? Does it return you
immediately to your shell prompt? If so, it's forking off a daemon in
the background, and this explains the problem you're seeing with
plink; the vncserver process starts an Xvnc in the background,
finishes successfully, and therefore the connection is over.

If this is the case, you need to find a way of making vncserver not
terminate; I suspect you may have to run Xvnc directly instead of
using vncserver.
