Inactivity Reboot

Post by mmppl »

We have the Inactivity action to perform set to Reboot, but certain programs if they are left open like Adobe Reader and Word prevent windows from restarting and the computers just sit at the Force Restart overlay. Is there any solution for this?

Use "exit" as the inactivity action and set the following in your INI file.

[Security]
RebootOnExit=True

This tries to force applications to close when rebooting.

Sorry to extend this, but I'll tell you what were looking for and hopefully it is possible. We'd like the computers to reboot when the inactivity/activity timer runs out, not when users unintentionally close PWB. In addition, we want to close the opened adobe/word programs. Is that possible? We want to avoid people losing data. ConfirmClose doesn't bring up a confirm dialog box.

Nevermind, was able to make a confirmclose message and we have a configuration that works. Thanks!
