Hi and thanks for your efforts to help me.
Yes, I am aware of the consept of being logged in or not. "When you replace the binary people are going to lose their place. Do it at a time that might affect the least number of people"
That is my point. Sometimes i I want to replace the binary even if some users are logged in. They lose their their place, yes, their session is over, yes. But I want to make them aware that this will shortly happen (or that this has happened if they havent done anything during the time - my session timeout is thirty minutes).
So my question still is: is there a way to communicate with user that their session will be (brutally) aborted soon.
I remember there was discussion of a session timeout counter but can't find it anymore.
My plan is to set a global variable (time of shutdown) and let webhandler generate an alert or message when users make new requests. New logins can of course be blocked.
I usually make announcments a few days ahead that there will be an upcoming update at say ten o'clock in the evening but It would be nice to sometimes make a fixupdate ex tempore.
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks
