So how best to get the URL to Windows from Linux? Here is the technique we used, low tech and simple...which means it will work. :) This snippet of code is from the python/glade UI. It takes the URL and writes it to a file in a temporary folder. Multi-user systems need file names that will never clobber one another, so we use $USER. We then simulate them clicking on IE from GNOME via the command line. This ensures that all licenses are checked and also that we log the launch of the software.
On the Windows side of things, the .bat file looks for the file written out from python. If it's there it uses it, otherwise it just opens IE on the users configured home page.
Now to send out email to the user and alert them of the change and await feedback.

You should probably use Python's tempfile module (see http://docs.python.org/library/tempfile.html) to ensure people can open even more than one URL at approximately the same time. Of course, you'd need to open all those URLs on the Windows side of things, so you'd probably want to use all of prefix, suffix and dir parameters when creating a TemporaryFile.

I am also using IE & get fast click links. I am doing my own business & for that it’s good to link click.
