Well, that only sends messages to terminals, not to the desktop. If someone is working on a spreadsheet in OpenOffice or a photo in GIMP, or something else like that on the desktop, they will not see the warning. Instead the machine just suddenly shuts down at the appointed time losing their work and leaving them with their jaws wide open.
There are people that do not work from a terminal? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
