In RDAdmin under service there is a check box to enable "autorefresh" this will update the log on RDAirplay I think whenever it is edited. maybe that would do what you want.
But, why not make the Airplay log with macros that load and play the students show logs, and they create their own logs for their shows that way no one is accessing a "shared log"? You would not even need to use the autorefresh (which can be dangerous). just a thought. Nathaniel C.
