[Gambas-user] Using Gambas Program over network!

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hi,

I cannot understand exactly what kind of type your network is. Is it a 
terminal server network like LTSP? This is the way we use network here. 
And I've written some Gambas apps for everyone on the network.

Quite easy: The runtime libraries are public anyway, so you just have to 
publish the specific application file(s). As a standard user's directory 
is read-only for everyone, you may put a link (icon) on every user's 
desktop to that file in your directory where you put the app anyway. 
This ensures all users will benefit automagically of updates you make.

Oh I see - you've got several machines. Ok, never tried this, but let me 
make a guess:

- Install Gambas on each machine.
- Copy the application file (updates) to each machine.

That should do.

Alright, I was too fast again :-) Sorry.

If you can place Gambas itself on the server so it can be started from 
everywhere (do you use NFS?), it should be easy to do the same with your 
own application. Or did I get you wrong here...?

By the way, if you need user-specific configuration data, you should 
store them on the clients in the users' directories. You can easily find 
out the user's home directory and write a config file into it. But I'm 
sure you're aware of this stuff...
