Thanks again Arno, that's a possibility for the future. Getting rather frustrated with the servers here... browse.dat is in different places on our 2 servers and neither where you said it might be ! Reason for all this messing around is that one server (built by someone else) is *extremely* flakey so I've built a replacement and I'm in the process of swapping them over. New to Linux and Samba so struggling with commands :-(
Wanted to use "at" to reboot the old server at midnight and it took hours yesterday to discover that ctrl-D was the command I needed to enter after I'd typed "reboot" at the at> prompt. I've got 5 Linux manuals and not one of them told me how to use the at command properly so ended up trawling the web. Oh well, when it's all up and running I'm sure things will get better, and I will have learnt a lot thanks to this Samba list :-) ATB Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arno Seidel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Samba" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 11:05 AM Subject: AW: [Samba] Sending message to connected users ? Hi Mike, hm.... if you are good in Shell-Programming you could write a script which excludes from the /var/lib/samba/browse.dat (ascii-textfile) the "active" pc�s and sends them a message. regards Arno --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
