Actually having a bit of a play I think I might have found a workaround. I ended up installing the GDM Watchdog which checks for when a user logs out (or alternatively turns off the client). It then closes all the users processes so in there I've put in a test command which works and runs as the logged in user. Hopefully I can put together a simple script to empty the home directory and unpack a tar archive back into the directory. Not ideal but as I'm on a tight schedule (server is being installed on Saturday and goes live on the 7th Feb) it looks like it'll have to do. I'll just have to try and find a more elegant solution afterwards.
Still I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end when there are 6 more Ubuntu machines out there :-) Rob -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
