Is there a way we can have the list of users refresh automatically every 5 or 10
seconds? I'll be working with users and notice that users still in the list are showing
even after they logged off, so I have to manually refresh the list every so often.
Is this something hard to do, or does it already do so but not as often as I would like?
If it already does it can I change the refresh interval manually?
Any help would be great. Thanks for your work on this.
Funny side note here. I have used FL_TeacherTool in the past and thought the speed was
fairly good, but my last server it was sssssllllooooowwwww! I wondered what had changed
and was about to send an email. Turns out my IP is a 10.X.X.X range so when the server
installed it created 65536 hosts in the hosts file. So whenever I would perform an
operation (open the program or refresh the user list) it would sit forever. I finally
figured that out and narrowed my hosts file to the range 500 IP's give out by the dhcp
server and viola, it is much faster now. Let that be a lesson to anyone else out there
doing something stupid like I was :-)
