Firefox idle delay in seconds

[solson]

Is there anyway to change the Firefox idle time from minutes to seconds? Our previous kiosk software was set to 30 seconds and with Porteus the lowest we can go is 1 minute. I noticed an older version of Porteus allowed for seconds but I don't want to downgrade to that version. I tried putting in 0.5 for the delay and received an arithmetic error. Any other workarounds for that? Not a huge deal but was just curious. Thanks for the great software!!!

hello Stan,

unfortunately i cant change this parameter from minutes to seconds as it would affect 'automatic updates' subscribers and we target 'setup and forget' approach (backward compatibility is a must). please do as follows:
a) remaster the ISO as per kiosk documentation: http://porteus-kiosk.org/kiosk-customization.html
b) edit 003-settings.xzm/opt/porteus-scripts/firefox-idle-watcher and change:

Code: Select all

FFIDLE=`grep FFIDLE= /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart | cut -d= -f2`

to your value, for example:

Code: Select all

FFIDLE=30

that should do it.

Thanks for the info, I will give that a try!
