Would something like this work for you?
We're discussing it in a meeting tomorrow. I wrote a proof of concept that uses xmessage launched as a process owned by the console using user (xmessage source available for Solaris). For remote users, we can assume that their console notification is sufficient. If someone pushes for it, we can also have shutdown -k issue a notification. We don't have a requirement for actual shutdown. I'm not keen on creating a new service for something like this, but I appreciate the idea. One guy suggested forcing every *nix user to log on to Lotus Notes Sametime (maybe covers Linux, not sure if Solaris will work), but I think that's someone being a wise guy, not serious. Thanks to all for the feedback. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
