hello all, Is there a way to notify PC clients connecting to a UNIX/Linux server via samba that the server is being shutdown. I have searched for a method to notify the PC user accessing a shared network drive via samba, I have not found anything thus far. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, dennis.
