README file for server-utils tool


server-utils is a small python tool to allow do some jobs from UNIX cron.


=================
Requisites to run
=================

First of all need to create a conf file in the user who run cron jobs
with data to connect to thin client.

Example (user root):

create /root/.tcosmonitor.conf with this data:
#######################
xmlrpc_username=__TCOS_USERNAME__
xmlrpc_password=__TCOS_PASSWORD__
#######################

Replace __TCOS_USERNAME__  and __TCOS_PASSWORD__ with the correct info
that you are configured in /etc/tcos/tcos.conf

Be sure to chmod 600 this file, password is in plain text.



=========================
Poweroff All TCOS clients
=========================
Add this to your /etc/crontab:

55 20   * * 5   root    /usr/sbin/tcos-server-utils --action=message --text="In 5 minutes poweroff all pcs"
00 21   * * 5   root    /usr/sbin/tcos-server-utils --action=poweroff 

This will poweroff all TCOS thin clients at 21:00 all Fridays



=========================
Reboot   All TCOS clients
=========================
Add this to your /etc/crontab:

55 14   * * *   root    /usr/sbin/tcos-server-utils --action=message --text="In 5 minutes all pcs will be rebooted"
00 15   * * *   root    /usr/sbin/tcos-server-utils --action=reboot 

This will reboot all TCOS thin clients at 15:00 all days of week

=============================
Restart Xorg All TCOS clients
=============================
Add this to your /etc/crontab:
