You could start at the cheapest possible end and run OTRS inside of a frameset with the top frame for your announcements with a meta refresh tag. From there you could move up to editing the template to put it at the top of the screen. You could even write some Perl to do it. That said, I think you'll find the best solution is something you can run independantly of OTRS. Maybe an instant messenger service like Jabber running on the client machines could do the job for you? ________________________________ From: otrs-boun...@otrs.org on behalf of m...@timocom.com Sent: Thu 22/10/2009 11:44 PM To: User questions and discussions about OTRS. Subject: Re: [otrs] Is it possible to announce server maintenance to all agents in otrs? Thats the way I wanted to solve it, but you know, somethimes that is not enough to make announcements by e-mail out of OTRS. Maybe someone has a module/feature scripted which does something like a pop up or a box in the dashboard where all upcoming events for maintenance are listed in one view.
