<li>You need to enable Samba's messenger support. Edit the smb.conf file so
|
||
|
|
that it contains a message command directive. The following is an example
|
||
|
|
line:
|
||
|
|
<div class="lines"><tt class="xph">message command = /bin/bash -c 'echo -e WinPopup Message from %f on <br />
|
||
|
|
$(date): \n >> /tmp/msg.txt; cat %s >> /tmp/msg.txt; echo -e <br />
|
||
|
|
\n\n >> /tmp/msg.txt; rm %s'</tt><br />
|
||
|
|
</div></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Restart the Samba server. For example, (on Red Hat): /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba
|
||
|
|
restart.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Create a shell script that can read the /tmp/msg.txt file and pop the
|
||
|
|
messages into a window in the background. The following is an example bash
|
||
|
|
script:
|
||
|
|
<div class="lines"><tt class="xph">#!/bin/bash<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
# Run this script in the background to display a message window where <br />
|
||
|
|
# WinPopup messages are displayed in sequence. Samba must be started <br />
|
||
|
|
# and smb.conf must be configured to append messages to /tmp/msg.txt<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
# remove old messages<br />
|
||
|
|
rm /tmp/msg.txt<br />
|
||
|
|
touch /tmp/msg.txt<br />
|
||
|
|
chmod 666 /tmp/msg.txt<br />
|
||
|
