Hi, linux-il, This question might seem a bit not related to Linux; However, it is a real problem which I face daily as a result of that I am trying to use Linux in a windows environment. So I hope you can advice.
The problem description: I am using Linux station in a company which is windows-oriented; namely, most desktops are windows. I also have a windows desktop. Most of the day I sit in an office which is in on another floor from where my windows desktop is. I need to access the windows machine quite often for many tasks (for example, reading mail, as the sysadmin did not agree to install install/configure a mail client on the linux machine because this is the policy here). So I use rdesktop from linux to windows. The trouble with this is that every 10 minutes or so, if I do not perform any action in windows, the rdesktop connection is disabled and I have to open a new session of rdesktop. And this is quite annoying ! And I don't have an administrative permission to my windows machine, so I cannot change it. So my question is: is there some workaround ? for example, some windows application which will be awakened every 5 minutes to let the windows machine think that there was some action on windows, and thus the rdesktop session will not finish ?
