I apologize for the OT, but I really wouldn't know where to ask and, afterall, server side will be FreeBSD. A customer of mine has the need to notify all users when a certain type of new document is written and ask them to sign they have read it. Right now everything is on plain old paper, with someone running after everyone personally, but obviously they'd like to move to the electronic way. Right now the best (but surely not the only one) solution I've thought of is be the following: _ that same person can write to a SMB share on my server and will put new documents there; _ some program in NETLOGON.CMD will check for new entries, pop up a window with the link and the "Accept" button; acceptance means something will be written somewhere (possibly on that same share or another, or connecting to a web script); _ some PHP web page will collect the result and display who has accepted and who must be sollicited. I think this should be neither hard nor long for me to implement, but before I start, I just thought I would ask if someone knows of some ready to deploy solution. N.B. It does not necessarily need to work the way I described, so long as the end results are the same. bye & Thanks av.
