Not yet, you just brought up that requirement. :-) It should not be too difficult to implement if that time limit is unconditional, but would require the at daemon. If you have to look first whether someone is still working, it would be trickier though. > One idea I had was to create a "command line" application that > autostarted.

Highlighting a section, pressing CTRL-C and pasting it into notepad works here with XP SP3. You can connect to the manager from any platform running Java 1.6 so test this from another system, too. I would like to hear if there is really a problem. > I am using version 0.4.1 on a 64bit windows 2003 server.

Sure, the requested feature would need programming. -- Bye, Tobias Abt levigo systems gmbh ----------- ein unternehmen der levigo gruppe Max-Eyth-Strasse 30 Telefon: 07031 / 4161-10 D-71088 Holzgerlingen Telefax: 07031 / 4161-11 Geschäftsführer: Oliver Bausch http://systems.levigo.de/ Registergericht: Stuttgart HRB 245 180 USt-ID: DE813226078 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org openthinclient-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user
