Bug#703710: killer CRON disabled on diskless workstations



Hi Petter,

The disabling of cron jobs on diskless workstations is done by the
script
/usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian-custom/032-edu-pkgs in
the debian-edu-config package.  It also, as you say, disable the killer
cron job.  This is the comment on top of that code block:

    # Disable the cron jobs that should not be running on a diskless
    # workstation.  Keep rwhod, shutdown-at-night and
    # sitesummary-client.

Should we run killer on diskless workstations and thin clients?  I am
not sure.

If killer works reliably, then: yes (for diskless workstations). Otherwise, diskless workstations (not sure about thin clients, actually) will not get affected by shutdown-at-night if users forgot to log out.

The expected behaviour would be for diskless workstations:

o killer ends still-running / not-logged-off sessions after 6h of session duration
  o shutdown-at-night turns of the diskless machine within the next hour

Greets,
Mike
