Is it possible to run a screensaver via SSH?
And is it possible to temporarily disable touchscreen via ssh?

I guess you are doing some kind of kiosk maintenance? In this case it may be better to run:

Code: Select all

init 3
and once maintenance is finished then:

Code: Select all

init 4
No need to disable touch/input devices then.

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
