Hi, linux-il,<br>
<br>
This question might seem a bit not related to Linux; However,<br>
it is a real problem which I face daily as a result of that I am<br>
trying to use Linux in a windows environment. So I hope you can advice.<br>
<br>
The problem description:<br>
I am using Linux station in a company which is windows-oriented;<br>
namely, most desktops are windows. I also have a windows desktop.<br>
Most of the day I sit in an office which is in on another floor<br>
from where my windows desktop is. I need to access the windows machine<br>
quite often for many tasks (for example, reading mail, as the sysadmin<br>
did not agree to install<br>
install/configure a mail client on the linux machine because this is<br>
the policy here).<br>
<br>
So I use rdesktop from linux to windows. The trouble with this is that<br>
every 10 minutes or so, if I do not perform any action in windows, the<br>
rdesktop connection is disabled and I have to open a new session<br>
of rdesktop. And this is quite annoying ! And I don't have an administrative<br>
permission to my windows machine, so I cannot change it.<br>
<br>
So my question is: is there some workaround ? for example, some<br>
windows application which will be awakened every 5 minutes to let the windows<br>
machine think that there was some action on windows, and thus the rdesktop<br>
session will not finish ?<br>

I have no idea if it's Malware... There are other (mostly commercial, i.e. $$$) software packages that you can find on Google when you search for "Windows Mouse Mover"<br>
