Yes, everything should work fine, as WPKG service does not depend on user's desktop or if he/she is logged in or not. > We could run it during the day but > what happens when a user tries to run a program that is being > installed/updated? WPKG service runs in the background, and it shouldn't matter if the user is logged in or not. It *shouldn't* - because if the user runs a program, its upgrade will likely fail. You could forcibly log out the users, but you risk loosing the work they didn't save etc. That's why running it during bootup makes most sense. If you have the users who do not reboot their workstations, you have to take additional measures. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporting bugs, all WPKG mailing lists >> http://wpkg.org/Support _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
