I guess you are doing some kind of kiosk maintenance? In this case it may be better to run:
and once maintenance is finished then:
No need to disable touch/input devices then.
Code: Select all
init 3
Code: Select all
init 4

Manual run screensaver via SSH and disable touchscreen
Established a kiosk at school. There is an idea sometimes to remotely transfer a touch-screen kiosk to an information terminal using a common screensaver with the touchscreen disconnected so that users cannot remove the screensaver by touching the screen.
P.S. I am very grateful to you for your product and operational assistance that you provide. The plans have a desire to talk with the school director and offer to donate to you. The kiosk at the school assembled completely by myself with the use of your product with full enthusiasm.

You schould setup remote config and toggle relevant parameters in it when needed.
Once done you can reboot the kiosk over SSH so it could reconfigure to a new function.
That would be a proper way of handling this scenario.
Thanks
