Actually, they cannot do any of these things except save their work! There is no sysadmin. Our IS department is totally Windows focused and does not know how to help us with Solaris 10-based stuff. If we have problems we either figure it out ourselves or call the owners of the planning software for remote help. As I am the only person in our group with any programming knowledge (weak though it is), this means I usually wind up trying to solve issues as they arise. These client machines are dedicated to a single purpose: radiation therapy treatment planning. They either cannot or should not be doing anything else > Being a 'good guy' in a multi tasking/multi user world is tough :-) If a user initiates one of my programs/scripts then the user is focused on that task to exclusion of anything else, since that comprises the next step in his planning process workflow. -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
