OTTOMH & Full GPL guarantee applies :-) Ensure that kalarm and kalarmd are in the LTSP file-set and started. I imagine you'd also have to do an xhost for each client machine somewhere. for n in $(seq 10 1 29) do kalarm "Time to go home" -display=terminal$n:0.0 done I'm not sure what happens if the said terminal is off. I'll try it out the week after next when I have access to the LTSP net. I assume that the names terminal10 - terminal29 are in the local DNS. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux. If you find a virus apparently from me, it has forged the e-mail headers on someone else's machine. Please do not notify me when this occurs. Thanks.
