| | 32 | When the user clicks (or double-clicks, depending on the client operating |
| | 33 | system) on the icon, a table is displayed showing how many pages the |
| | 34 | user has printed on each printer, as well as if he can still print or not, |
| | 35 | and if is PyKota account is limited by a number of credits, the number |
| | 36 | of credits remaining in his account is displayed. |

| | 38 | INSTALLATION : |
| | 39 | -------------- |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | 1 - On a web server : |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | The first thing to do is to configure a web server to serve |
| | 44 | PyKota's dumpykota.cgi CGI script. The best place to do so |
| | 45 | is on the print server itself, but for performance reasons |
| | 46 | you may prefer installing it elsewhere. |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | When installing, you have to ensure that the dumpykota.cgi |
| | 49 | script will be able to read PyKota's configuration and to |
| | 50 | access to PyKota's database, whatever it is, as a PyKota |
| | 51 | administrator. Please refer to PyKota's documentaton for |
| | 52 | details on how to do this. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | You can protect access to this CGI script with a username |
| | 55 | and password if you want. Please refer to your web server's |
| | 56 | documentation for details on how to do this. |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | 2 - On each client : |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | Execute (double-click) on PyKotIcon's installation program, |
| | 61 | and the software will install itself onto the local hard disk. |
| | 62 | |
| | 63 | The installation procedure will ask you for the full URL to |
| | 64 | dumpykota.cgi which should be installed and working on a |
| | 65 | web server, accessible from the current computer. For example |
| | 66 | enter : |
| | 67 | |
| | 68 | http://printserver.example.com/cgi-bin/dumpykota.cgi |
| | 69 | |
| | 70 | Then the insallation procedure will ask you to enter an optional |
| | 71 | username and password, in the case the access to dumpykota.cgi |
| | 72 | is protected. Just leave the fields blank if access is unrestricted, |
| | 73 | else type in the correct username and password. |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | 3 - You can now execute the pykoticon software. A good place to put |
| | 76 | it under MS Windows is in the Startup folder, or in a netlogon |
| | 77 | script. Under GNU/Linux and similar system, you can put a |
| | 78 | command line to pykoticon in your ~/.Xsession file or configure |
| | 79 | your desktop environment to automatically start it when opening |
| | 80 | the session. |
