Problem Messaging Sending... by mwe99 on 06-08-2005 at 03:47 AM

We have a family computer spread over 5 user accounts, there is only one admin, which is myself. Is there a program that i can use on all 5 accounts like a messaging one? Where the users can type a message that they have a problem (say for example a program isnt working or they want something installed) is there any programs that send a message to the administrator and pop it up when the admin logs in. I know about the Send Message feature in Ctrl Alt Del and i need something to display the messages even if the PC is restarted.

Thanks

If no one replies with software then I can make you something that will work ok?

What about just having a word document in a shared folder?

Not a good idea IMO, as it could too easily have stuff removed, or the file itself deleted.

Yeah Matty, if you could help that would be fantasic, i would have a go a creating one myself but i couldn't promise it would be work or stable. I think it would just be something like when the message is sent its saved in a .txt document, then popped up next computer logon :S

You could set up a apache server with a php script on it

Why not just get them to send you an email if they have a problem?


RE: Problem Messaging Sending... by RaceProUK on 06-08-2005 at 04:13 PM

Or tell you in person?


RE: Problem Messaging Sending... by mwe99 on 06-08-2005 at 09:20 PM

Because they do tell me but i dont always remember lol then they end up nagging me, therefore i just wanted a simple reminding program as im not always on the PC when they tell me their problem
