We'd like our express computers to reboot after the activity timer is expired. The activityaction=reboot does not work for us -- it did not work on the inactivity timer either. To get our computers to reboot after the inactivity timer we had to the the "execute" action to run a BAT file. We'd like to use the same BAT file after the activity timer. Any way to do this?
OR -- if we could figure out why the reboot was not working that would work also
You are currently using a beta copy of PWB v2.09.0. Try using the release version of PWB v2.09.3 available on our web site. You can download the upgrade and simply copy the new EXE over the old EXE.
I upgraded to 2.093 but it still acts the same way.
I can not get it to reboot after the activity timeout.
Here is a copy if the inactivity and activity sections of our INI:
(note -- the inactivity action that is executed is a BAT file that reboots the computer)
[Inactivity]
InactivityTimer=True
InactivitySeconds=120
InactivityMessageTitle=Attention
InactivityMessage=This computer is resetting due to inactivty.
InactivityMessageFile=\\pserver\pwb\inactivity.txt
InactivityAction=Execute
InactivityStartOnOpen=False
ResetOnMouseMove=True
ResetOnMouseButton=True
ResetOnKeyboard=True
IgnoreHomePageRefresh=True
Although this version will probably not be released because PWB v2.10 is on the way which will include this functionality, you can benefit from the added functionality now by downloading the following file, copying the new EXE over the old EXE, and adding the following to your INI file.
Windows XP SP2 appends zone information to files that are downloaded from the Internet on NTFS partitions. If you click the unblock button in the files property sheet it will not warn you any longer. If you are running the file from a active directory network drive you should add your domain to the local Intranet zone.
