<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Wondering if there is a different way of going about this (brainstorming?):
- use System Event / Client Disconnected on the BE to run a script that throws a message to wherever when nominated FE disconnects?
- use the Frontend Services API / GetStatus maybe state field has something useful?
- use the Frontend Services API / SendKey to trigger script on FE from desktop that then throws message to wherever?</pre>
