I have a Red Hat 7 based server that is being used as a router and file server for 6 other machines. Four of the machines are running Windows and two are Linux. I need to know if there is a way to have a message pop up on the windows machine alerting them of the server being rebooted or shutdown.

If you use an app called LinPopUp and WinPopUp is operating on the Windows Clients, you should be able to broadcast a message to the Windows Clients. If the Windows Clients are Windows NT or 2000 based PC's, then you won't have to worry about making sure WinPopUp is running. To obtain LinPopUp you can download it from the following address:

You MUST have SAMBA set up on the linux box in order for this to work.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me @ paul@powercode-inc.com
