2004-05-14 Thread Stephan Lampe [ITXP]
So: a question to those experienced with Win 2K/XP: How to I find out if there is a user logged in on the console (Remotely logged in users might also be relevant - but that's for revision 2 (-: ) and, if there is, how do I set up a logoff script for that user? Or perhaps there's a way

Ok, now I found an uncomfortable way to get dosemu.bin running: I cd to a directory /z/dosemu which contains the recent dosemu package from dosemu.org, run ./dosemu which throws an error (libXext.so.6 not found) and stops. After that I run dosemu.bin (from unattended) and it works. Without dosemu

True. But bandwidth isn't really an issue where I work and by it's nature the script is out of date in a few days after it's release. It would be one less script to manage. I guess I could allow the script to update (saving bandwidth) and run auto update to finish up the job. :) thanks, john
