Hello
recently I applied a kiosk mode vmware-view desktops in my organisation.
these desktops are booting from LAN (pxelinux) a stripped-down ubuntu. ubuntu is launching a ratpoison desktop that is calling view-client by a script, wrapped by dbus-launch.
I also had to set a watchdog in ubuntu, that is killing Xorg when vmware-remotemks is down, or reboot when Xorg is down.
we are very pleased with this setup, we do however have frequent network outages.
these outages can be a real pain in our setup, because when connectivity is lost, vmware-remotemks is killing itself upon a 60 seconds timeout of networking. (view client log has been showing that)
as a result, only the Xserver black screen remains available - with no view client. this is when the (cron based) watchdog interferes and restarting Xorg.
I've been trying really hard to find how to control this vmware-remotemks timeout (it seems to be not the "Session timeout" that is controlled from view administrator.), but couldn't find it.
has anyone else experienced with this problem?
many thanks
J
