Description
This attribute determines for how long a user will be able to
resume an application.
|
| Never | never |
- The application can never be resumed: clicking a link on
a webtop always starts a new application instance.
- The application is terminated as soon as it disappears
from the webtop. For example, if you click a link that
launches another application on the webtop.
- Recommended for applications that do not
provide a mechanism for the user to exit. For example, a clock
application.
|
| Tarantella webtop session | session |
- The application keeps running and is resumable until the
user logs out of Tarantella.
- If a user doesn't log out of Tarantella cleanly -- for
instance, if they close their web browser or it crashes -- then
applications that are Tarantella Webtop Session resumable
keep running for a time (see Resumable For).
- This is the default setting.
|
| Always | always |
- The application keeps running for a time (see Resumable For) after the
user logs out of Tarantella, and can be resumed
when they next log in.
- Recommended for applications that need to exit
in a controlled way. For example, an email application that may need
to remove lock files before it exits.
|
Note An X application configured to Display Using a Local X
Server is not resumable, whatever the value of the Resumable
attribute.
Users can see whether an application is resumable or not by
pointing to its link on their webtop. The status bar shows an
appropriate message.
