How do you stop users from shutting down the system if there are other people connected, but allow them to shut it down if there are not?
Here's the background, I have machines A and B in different locations. Machine A is sometimes going to be used by just anyone, on account X, and sometimes by the main secretary on account Y. Sometimes, to allow the others to work on Machine A, the secretary will decamp to another room, and continue to work on account Y on machine A, but will be phyically located at machine B.
Install machine C, which is a server and never turned off. Machine A and B log into that.
Simple, but not the cheapest to setup or run.
Tim.
