By that you mean some pseudo user session that the > speakup daemon could be run under? If so, I agree. Yeah, the idea I was generally blundering around was that the "idle user" was a ck psuedo session that is "active" when no other session is marked as active - e.g. while sitting at a tty login prompt. I don't know if the getty system could launch a psuedo session itself so that ck doesn't specifically need to be aware of "idle" status - it was just my way of imagineering how I'd approach the problem which (by the sounds of things) was along the right lines (\o/) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
