Thanks John. Here's what I did with Kevin's help.
1. Created a subroutine that accepts one parameter and returns the value of the user specified system variable. 2. Wrote a glassfish webservice that calls that subroutine and returns the value. 3. Wrote a java desktop gadget that hits the web service every nnn seconds and displays the value. This gadget can be run on many desktops simultaneously. I'll add logging later the capture max/min/avg etc. Thanks again. Jeff ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
