The rough script below could be converted into a "gnome-wall" that is called at the very start of rc0.d and rc6.d, followed by a long sleep, to warn all users of the impeding system interruption. Of course, this is a rough hack. Ideally, GNOME would simply have a way to catch all wall messages (such as those issued by 'reboot') and to display them via the notification area. #!/bin/bash for PID in $(pgrep metacity); do DISPLAY=$(cat /proc/${PID}/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep DISPLAY | sed -e 's/DISPLAY=//') XAUTHORITY=$(cat /proc/${PID}/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep XAUTH | sed -e 's/XAUTHORITY=//') zenity --info --text="$1" done #EOF PS: the above script was hacked by LTSP developer Scott Balneaves. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-dbe61 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-session depends on: ii gconf2 2.16.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-control-center 1:2.14.2-7 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-3 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libgconf2-4 2.16.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.14.3-2 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome2-0 2.16.0-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.3-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library Versions of packages gnome-session recommends: ii dbus 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst pn desktop-base <none> (no description available) ii gnome-panel 2.14.3-5 launcher and docking facility for ii metacity 1:2.14.5-4 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii nautilus 2.14.3-11+b1 file manager and graphical shell f - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGoN34eXr56x4Muc0RAnMPAJ4yHkUqQVVNPQse90AR+yhHgl5q3wCglk2A KwxbUpia03u+LRIno4nd+K4= =hdcj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
