Reboot Webconverger after x minutes of inactivity #141

Open Apachez- opened 11 years ago

Apachez- commented 11 years ago

There is today an api setting of "kioskresetstation" that will restart the browserprocess after x minutes of inactivity.

With the raising number of malware out there for flash and other plugins used by Webconverger a complete reboot of the box would remove any longterm running malware (aka APT - Advanced Persistent Threat) which might have found its way to the box running Webconverger.

I want to propose an api setting of "resetstation" (or similar) that will run a reboot if the box have been untouched for x minutes (that is keyboard activity and/or mouse movements).

A (somewhat) workaround can be to use the cronjob api however the cronjob is static and might upset the user if the reboot occurs when the user is active.

Setting "resetstation" to a large enough number of minutes would bring the clients a fresh (even on operatingsystemlevel) Webconverger to play with.
