In fact I think the question almost becomes obsolete as soon as you see italc in operation; a student would only make the mistake once! Indeed italc already includes the ability to execute commands on the student desktops, so simply lock down the student desktops using kiosktool, so that they cannot run a browser themselves, and then the teacher simply runs the browser when it's required. Actions | Execute Command | firefox "http://example.com/";. Maybe this isn't user friendly enough. Terminating the applications isn't ideal - Actions | Execute Command | killall firefox-bin - not sure if there's a better way. -- Chris Roberts LTSP Version : 5.1.10-1~40 Windows Manager : KDE 3.5.5 Distribution : Debian Etch Kernel : 2.6.22-3-k7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
