Hi,
Somebody is asking an interesting question on usenet, and I'll ask it here in his stead.
He needs a "dead man button" application or script. If someone press the button, nothing is done. If not pressed for, say, 10 hours, send an email. Maybe send another periodically to confirm it is running.
Does somebody know of one such?
Not off hand, but it shouldn't be hard to do with a shell script. There are calls that can open a message on the screen etc.. Then wait for a response and loop as appropriate.
Sure, I can code it myself, but he can't, and I wondered if it exists already.
There is probably a website that offers that. https://www.deadmansswitch.net/ -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
