Thanks for this response David, but I'm not sure it answers my query. If I have a laptop connecting to a LTSP server then I can't see a way to monitor the condition of the battery in the laptop. Any applets that I run on the laptop once it has booted are actually running on the LTSP server so wouldn't a battery monitor be actually monitoring the status of the battery, (if it existed), in the LTSP server?
Is my understanding here incorrect?

Look for a battery monitor you like; nut might work (I haven't tried it on a laptop). Take a look at /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.d/sample; it may help you see how to get it to start automatically. -- David Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Little Bald Consulting, LLC ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
