Timeout looking for app

After the application is launched, AppLock must wait until the application has ini-

tialized itself before proceeding. The application did not start successfully and

 

 

AppLock has timed out.

 

 

 

 

ToUser after admin, not at

LOG_EX

boot

istrator presses the hotkey. The mode switch is being attempted after a hotkey

 

 

press.

 

 

 

 

ToUser after admin-app

The switch to user mode is being made via a hotkey press and the administrator

LOG_EX

still open

has left the application open and has not made any changes in the configuration.

 

 

 

 

ToUser after admin-no app

If user mode is being entered via a hotkey press, the administrator may have left

LOG_EX

or cmd line change

the configured application open. If so, AppLock does not launch the application

 

 

again unless a new application or command line has been specified; otherwise,

 

 

it just locks it.

 

 

 

 

Unable to move desktop

The desktop is moved when switching into user mode. This prevents them from

LOG_ERROR

 

being visible if the application is exited and restarted by the timer. This error

 

 

does not affect the screen mode switch; processing continues.
