I have thought about doing a tray icon for Gnome -- it is not very hard because I once did one for apcupsd. It could easily contain the code in the console to contact the client and get the status. With a little dialog box, you could then make it contact any client, and it could have a little configuration section so that it has a default client. > > Best regards, > > Nicolas > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media > 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 > Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. > http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-devel mailing list > Bac...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel |
