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 clos-
ing 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 applica-
tion 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 termina-
tion 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 appli-
cation 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 dis-
played 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.
