Idle function [Solved]

Post#1 by zxcv0101 » 21 Apr 2015, 13:35

Hi

The Idle function does not seem to work as intended, atleast not for me.
I am running Porteus Kiosk 3.3 created from the ISO I just downloaded and the idle function resets the browser once but just once.

has this happened to anyone else?

Best regards zxcv0101

answer is here:

if you want to force resetting the firefox no matter of user activity then remaster the ISO and add following function to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code: Select all

(
while true; do
sleep 600
killall firefox
done
) &
replace sleep 600 to your value (in seconds).
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
