yes, exactly, using the wombat interface (CalClient) would allow you to
get notifications when anything changes, so you can do a live update
anytime there is a change.

u would probably have to killev before installing any such files over
existing ones.  otherwise u could end up with everything from crashes to
corruption.

if it was done with code via tjhe wombat interfaces, then it could be
done anytime and maybe even support live update.

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but what's preventing you from
doing this right now? Just uucp the calendar.ics file at 4:00 AM or
something when you know Evolution won't be running?

Or do you mean that you want the calendar to be updated over UUCP as
soon as anything changes? That would be hard to pull off.

[Evolution] Complete exchange integration with remote locations

2002-08-20 Thread Rory D. Hudson
Title: Message



Hello 
everybody...
 
Well Evolution is proving to be a very viable product that can 
be used remotely without me as an adminstrator having to babysit it all the time 
(very nice!!).  I have a quick question for people and am interested in 
their input.
 
I have 100 remote 
locations, they do not have internet access and the only way we communicate is 
via UUCP.  Here at the office we are running Exchange 2000, and I would 
like to try to marry Evolution users with Exchange users a little better than I 
have so far.  So here are my questions and wishes.
 
First, I would like 
to be able to maintain a calendar here at the office, it could be a public 
folder on the Exchange server.  Then I would like to be able to send this 
calendar down to our stores via uucp...this then could replace the 
/home/username/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics file located at the 
store.  Thus the store has the most up to date version of the 
calendar.  I would like to do something similar to this with the 
addressbook as well. 
 
Is something like 
this at all a possibliity or is it a pipe dream?  This may seem like an odd 
request, but if this is possible this allows me to maintain the same interface 
here at corporate while becoming more integrated with our 100 remote 
locations.  Thanks again for a great product guys,  evolution is 
great!!
