Re: Shutdown clients by cronjob

hi

one approach could be that you find a crontab setup in client system to 
send LTSP clients 'uptime' every 15-30 minutes to some configuration 
that detects from the uptime message  how much/where the average load is 
and decides from the load information and message interval when it's 
safe time to kill/shutdown the client. this can be very difficult to 
configure and adjust just with the uptime. it might be better if reading 
the idle state somewhere from x11 (mouse movement, display, keyboard).

i think also parsing such idle information messages from client should 
be in the server configuration with some service rules. the rules parse 
the client messages indicating the need to shutdown idle clients

to your question I wish you find a way to solve your client problem
