I am installating tightvnc server on my ubuntu machine by using ruby script my script contain following:

#!/usr/bin/ruby env    
`sudo apt-get --force-yes -y install tightvncserver`
`printf "%s\n%s\n" "demo123" "demo123" | vncserver :1`

I used printf way because vncserver ask for password on terminal, But that way failed, Is their any better way to solve this?

You'd want to use vncpassword to create a password file:

Step 2. Create a vnc password file with “vncpassword”. 

$ vncpasswd
Using password file /home/user/.vnc/passwd
VNC directory /home/user/.vnc does not exist, creating.
Password: [TYPE YOUR VNC PASSWORD HERE]
Verify: [TYPE YOUR VNC PASSWORD HERE]
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n

and then use that file in your script:

#!/usr/bin/ruby env    
`sudo apt-get --force-yes -y install tightvncserver`
`vncserver -p /home/user/.vnc/passwd`
