Hello! I'm using LTSP 4.2u4 with openSUSE 10.2 (64-bit version) and KDE as desktop environment with success - thank you LTSP guys! :) System is installed in university library. 10 terminals have very limited environment - after power in they log in users (named opac001...opac010) automatically, open Konqueror in fullscreen mode, turn off all window decorations, Kicker, applets and keyboard shortcuts. Web browser has only few buttons, no menu, no address field etc. Home page (one and only possible page) is library's search system web page. Machines turn off automatically (using ltspinfo -h=wsxxx --shutdown) 5 minutes before library closing time.
Another 4 terminals have less limited environment. People use them for web browsing in search of scientifical materials, for simple wordprocessing [Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+V ;)] and for printing some documents. These four machines are using KDE too. It would be great to automagically send some messages to logged in clients, especially at the end of day. Let's say library closes at 7pm. I want to inform people standing before terminals' screens at 6:45pm with some dialog window that they should end their work because terminals will shut down in 10 minutes. I want do it with cron and native KDE's 'kdialog' preferably. I'm not sitting in front of terminal server, but control it with SSH session. How can I make it? -- Tomasz Lewicki PGP key: http://stalker.republika.pl/stalker.asc
