The idea being that the server (or another server) could run the munin monitoring/graphing software and the ltsp chroot could be running munin-node (or perhaps snmpd?). http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ This would give us memory usage, cpu usage, network bandwidth and other information from each thin client individually. This would hopefully be a big help in diagnosing problems on thin clients. There would probably be some tricks involved in automatically monitoring all thin clients (you might need to set up static ips?). http://munin.ping.uio.no/ Gavin -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
