Hi all.

Complete hypothetical question. Assume I have a Java class that I need to run in the background of KDE. The only action this class really needs to do is log the machine off after a set period of time.

I can probably write this class quite easily (hopefully :)), but should this be run as an appication or a process - I do NOT want them to be able to close this program/process. If it is possible to run it as a process - how, and could running it as a process be isolated to a single user's profile?

Umm, sorry about all of the vagueness - still just an idea. Thanks alot for taking the time to read this - and thanks even more for your ideas... Napa1m
