Oh, thanks a lot! I know now that I've read this one, but lost the
link since :(

There's a couple of things to note:
1) It took a session restart for the Sun Ray server to use this script
   and make the mountpoint directories, but only after a cold restart
   (and may be a re-plug of the thumb drive) it was mounted. Perhaps
   this new script should be called earlier in the session startup?
2) Will this happen after every reboot of the server (when /tmp dir is
   wiped)? i.e. the first sun ray user to connect won't see their thumb
   drives? :)

What is a best-practice for using the USB drives in CAM+uttsc scenario?
For example, since they are not seen by Windows as disks (uttsc shares
the mountpoint where the plugged drive appears), I can't eject them
from Windows nor see the available space. Am I doing something wrong?

Should I make an "eject" menu item on the dtsession menu and instruct
our users to use this one when they walk away from work stations?

By the way, will the thumb drive be shared between Windows sessions,
if a user makes several uttsc connections to different servers/logins? :)

If I may, which script/dir is this? Which scripts are called to finish
off the CAM session?

We use a variant of your "utsplash" script with 3 buttons to start
applications, so its "exit" action actually starts an app. To recycle
a session we instead use an "exit" menu item when right-clicking on a
desktop. We also put some rarely-used servers and apps on the menu.
dtsession is the critical application here, whose death causes the
session recycling.
