But does'nt the windows side have to have the winpopup running. Be nice to have some like on the novell networks that you can send a message to the clients an just have a message box to pop up. This is something that wud be great.
The NT side pups up automatically. The Win98/ME side does not.
Actually, yes the windows program has to be running, but can be minimized. If the options are set properly, it will pop up when an incoming message comes in (and minimize again upon deleting the message). My 'problem' is I can send to them from Linux, but they cannot reply. :(
They actually can.
From the manuals:
" Samba's message command option sets the path to a program that will run on the server when a Windows popup message arrives at the server. The command will be executed using the guest account user. What to do with one of these is questionable since it's probably for the Samba administrator, and Samba doesn't know his or her name. If you know there's a human using the console, the Samba team once suggested the following: [global] message command = /bin/csh -c 'xedit %s; rm %s' & Note the use of variables here. The %s variable will become the file that the message is in. This file should be deleted when the command is finished with it; otherwise, there will be a buildup of pop-up files collecting on the Samba server. In addition, the command must fork its own process (note the & after the command); otherwise the client may suspend and wait for notification that the command was sent successfully before continuing." It's in the using samba book, which is in swat. Tazio
