Chris Gerhard wrote a script that determines when one or more users have access to the same SunRay.  The person who installs the script can set the hours.  When time is up, the work of the person logged on to the SunRay is saved so they can return to their session next time they have access. 

Chris describes the script in his blog.

 The actual script is saved in his blog resources.

See BigAdmin's scripts section for more scripts like this one.

Chris Connell, from the UK, recently posted this korn shell script on BigAdmin:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/submittedScripts/hotlink.sh.txt

It checks the speed and duplex settings, plus the health and vlan information for network interfaces on a Solaris system.. 

To get MAC address output you need to run it as root. 

He did not use ARP output because it could affect the performance of a live system.
