Re: Re: Laziness and the Win32::Daemon

Those are good comments, and the only thing that keeps me from throwing it into startup.bat is that some of the computers don't get rebooted periodically. Some users just refuse to turn off their computer when their done at the end of the day ( /me believes Washington DC is headed towards California like rolling black outs ), so that script might not run often enough to represent a current inventory.

hmm... running a mix of 9X and NT or just 9X? if 9X then set up a machine as you Policy machine and force them off at say 11:45PM until 3:45AM (tell 'em it's for backups), plus if using DHCP shorten the leases. if 9X && NT then set up a 9X and a Server for Policy as the two are not even remotely compatible NT will do a whole bunch of neat stuff if you ask it to. OR are you running Mac Clients as your name suggests? In which case switch your clients to OS 9.02 and they'll crash so much they'll have to sign in all day! -- lmoran@wtsgSPAM.com print "\x{263a}"	[reply]

It's all NT4 and NT5( aka Win2k ) for the network. Thanks for your comments. And the Mac in my name doesn't have anything to do with Macintosh, I personally dislike Macintosh products/computers. Macphisto the I.T. Ninja Everyone has their demons....	[reply]
