Hi, This feels like a damnfool question, but I don't seem able to find an appropriate solution.
The situation: careless staff leaving desktops logged on, open tabs in browsers, monitors left on etc.etc. First solution: cron job: '/sbin/shutdown -r now' run daily at 7pm But this reboots to a live console login (no dm installed) and I haven't yet found a way to remotely configure the power management; all the solutions seem to merge to one where X is already running (or eliminating human error!). The situation is complicated by the need to subsequently disable power management and screensaver so that online video (tutoring) doesn't get interrupted once X and xfce are manually launched. So here is my damnfool question: How can I manually turn any monitors off remotely if they are not running X? The computers are all running Chimaera. Sorry for such an elementary question, but it's eluded me. fraser _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
