Thanks - I've tried that (see the console info above), no luck!

Got it.
It's apparently confused about the init system you are using, sysv or systemd.
Which are you trying to use?
weust:
I followed the guide here on setting it all up, including VNC.
But for some reason the cronjob isn't run at all. Can't VNC in, and MC isn't started either.
Only thing I can find using "grep CRON /var/log/syslog" is:
--- Quote ---INFO (profile fd = 3)
INFO (Running @reboot jobs)
(pi) CMD (/home/pi/headless > /dev/null)
(CRON) info (no MTA installed, discarding output)
--- End quote ---
which I think means it ran the script?
What am I missing here?

Try redirecting the output of the cronjob to a file rather than /dev/null to see what's failing. Did you make sure the script /home/pi/headless 1) exists 2) is executable and 3) has the correct contents?
What happens if you manually run the headless script at the command line?
Werner:
I would like to use JRiver on my Raspberry without a monitor an manage it remotely from my Mac. This worked before. Now I had to reinstall my Raspberry. I see a new tutorial for using JRiver withour a monitor. This doen’t work at all. When I arrive at the point after instalaltion of x11rdp where I have to sart the vnc server it seems to atst, but I cab’t connect to it. MS Remote Desktop just says »Error connecting«. So that’s all. Is there a possibility to fix this? I worked 3 times through the turotial every time with the same resul: it doesn’t work. (I must say, I ador these Linux tutorials: »write this, make this, now it wiork«, what means implicitly: »if not – that’s it.«
EDIT: Last news. The x11rdp starts now (don’t ask me why) and I can access the Raspberry remotely as before. But MC22 doesn’t start at boot. I can star it only remotely via Remote desktop, on the GUI. There seems to be no possibility to start it via crontab as before. Is this a new feature? And is is possible to go back to the former behaviour?
I guess the problem is that »x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -display :0 -geometry 1920x1080 -auth guess -forever -bg« does’nt start the x11 server, MC needs. I geht a mail like this, whenever I try:
01/03/2017 16:17:38 passing arg to libvncserver: -rfbauth
01/03/2017 16:17:38 passing arg to libvncserver: /home/pi/.vnc/passwd
01/03/2017 16:17:38 x11vnc version: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10 pid: 492
01/03/2017 16:17:38 -auth guess: failed for display=':0'
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyMediaCenter: Unable to open the X display device :0
Don’t know what it means, but I know: MC22 doesn’t start.
