color=#0000ff size=2>The thin client is running Linux (Thinstation). So I guess
you can use grep on the processes to filter out the wfclient
process.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=984163410-28042006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>While we're at it; would also be nice to do this with the
rdesktop client.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>The clients have hostnames. But would pinging them be
required ? If Hobbit can extract info from them, then can't they be set to
'online' status ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=984163410-28042006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Dunno how much load pinging of 4000-4500 clients would
cause....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I'd like every poll of the clients (using standard poll
times like 5min or more) to display how many of the clients were online at that
time and how many of those were running the wfclient or rdesktop client. Counts
displayed in numbers and graphs using the total number of clients available to
Hobbit as the max. (no max on wfclient or rdesktop processes as these can be run
multiple times on each client)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello list</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for a way to monitor thin clients.
Several thousand thin clients.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The most important information I need to gather
is:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>- is the client online ?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>- is the client running citrix client ?</FONT> </P><BR>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to get this graphed. One graph for
online clients and one graph for how many clients are running the citrix
client.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I should also be able to collect this information on
demand.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this possible with Hobbit ?</FONT> </P><BR><BR>
