After the user logs in the client machine, at every second the database and both the server and the client GUI will be updated with the remainning time, time elapsed and the session ending time. What is the best aproch to this? A timer on the client, sending the information to the server at every second? A timer in the server, sending the information to every connected clieint? A timer for every client on the server? Other suggestions?

A timer for every client on the server? Other suggestions? i would suggest following: 1- when logged in the client sends to the server the beginning time (note that the server will not necessarily receive it immediately) 2- the client sends every x secs (i would say 5-10) its own remaining time 3- the server gets the info and uses it to compare and update its own information. If by any chance the information is too different, the server should send a message to the client to correct its time remaining. In this scheme the client should be able to disconnect itself when its time is gone or the server tells it to do so. This way you avoid overhead generated by sending every sec a message Good luck -- Best regards :) Guillem Vicens Meier Dep.
