Synergy

This is a personal reference for me rather than for anybody else. So, forgive me if I don't elaborate.

Three files must be edited in order for the Ubuntu client to connect to a Synergy server. This is specific to Gnome, other managers may work similarly. Link to synergy site.

gdm/Init/Default

/usr/bin/killall synergyc
sleep 1
/usr/bin/synergyc [options] synergy-server-hostname

gdm/PostLogin/Default

/usr/bin/killall synergyc
