i have a similar setup with a modified version of xnetload running on my
masq router and swallowed into wharf on my workstation machine.
i just run a loop like:
while true ; do xnetload -display <workstation name> ; sleep 10 ; done
on the router, and on the workstation i have:
*Wharf netload - Swallow "xnetload" true
in my wharf config.
so xnetload on the router keeps trying to connect, which just fails if
the
workstation is down, or i'm not logged in.
when i log in i run "xhost <router>" manually (i could do it from
autoexec,
but i prefer doing it manually) and remove it after it's connected.
a better way would be to put a command like:
xhost +<router>;sleep 20;xhost -<router>
into autoexec.
