Auto Re-Launch

Default is Enabled.

When enabled for a specific application. automatically re-launches it (subject to the specified Auto Re-Launch Delay in seconds) after it terminates. This option allows the Administrator to disable the re-launch operation. AppLock cannot prevent all applications from closing. When an application that AppLock cannot prevent from closing terminates, perhaps because of an error condition, AppLock re-launches the application when this option is enabled.

Note: If Allow close (page 6-8)is enabled and both Auto Re-launch and Manual (Launch) are disabled, the application cannot be restarted for the end user or by the end user after the application terminates.

Retries

Default is 0 tries. Retries is the number of times AppLock will try to re-launch the application. The retry count is reset after an application is successfully launched and controlled by AppLock. Valid values are between 0 (no tries) and 99 tries or -1 for infinite. Infinite tries ends when the application successfully launches.

Delay

Default is 0 seconds (no delay). Delay is the amount of time AppLock waits prior to re-launching an application that has terminated. The delay is specified in seconds. Valid values are between 0 (no delay) and 99 sec- onds.

AppLock must also be configured to automatically re-launch an application. To AppLock, application termination by the end user is indistinguishable from application termination for any other reason.

Manual (Launch)

Default is Disabled.

Enabling this option allows the end user to launch the specified application(s). Upon bootup completion an application with Manual enabled is listed on the Switchpad accompanied by a checkmark that indicates the application is currently active or available for Launching. When an application name is tapped by the end user, the application is launched (if inactive) and brought to the foreground.

Applications set up with Manual (Launch) enabled may or may not be launched at bootup. This function is based on the application’s Auto At Boot setting. The applications have been listed as approved applications for end user manual launch using the Switchpad menu structure. The approved applications are listed on the Switchpad. A checkmark indicates the applications active status.

When Manual (Launch) is disabled for an application, and Allow Close is enabled for the application, when the end user closes the specific application it is no longer available (shown) on the Switchpad.

When Auto At Boot and Manual (Launch) are both disabled for a specific application, the application is 1) not placed on the list of approved applications for end user manual launch and 2) never launched, and 3) not displayed on the Switchpad.

Allow close

Default is Disabled. When enabled, the associated application can be closed by the end user.

This option allows the administrator to configure applications that consume system resources to be terminated if an error condition occurs or at the end user’s request. Error conditions may generate a topmost popup requiring an end user response, memory resource issues requiring an end user response, etc. Also at the administrator’s discretion, these types of applications can be started manually (see Manual [Launch]) by the end user.
