I am trying to somehow write a little script, or program that will allow me to do the following on my network:
I have set up a network of 30 computers, all the computers can be access by any of the 100 users, and their profile is acquired using a server, my problem is, sometimes a user forgets to log out, I want to be able to lock the workstation after 30 mins.
The profile admin software I am running through the novel client allows the workstation to be locked by the user.
Normally after the computer idles for 15 mins, the screen saver kicks in.
I want to lock the station instead of the screen saver.
I was thinking of intersepting or capturing the signal sent to the screensaver, and instead of the screen save going on, the workstation would be locked.
I am not sure if it would be easier to just do a whole script from scratch instead?
