Object ManagerCommand lineDescription
Notify applicationnotifyapp

The application is notified of a close action in the normal way. If the application ignores the request, Tarantella kills it.

Kill applicationkillapp

Tarantella kills the application. This is similar to using the program xkill to exit the application. You should use this setting only if your users are having difficulty closing an application.

Suspend sessionsuspendsession

If the application object is resumable, the application's emulator session is suspended. If the application object is not resumable, the emulator sesson ends. You should use this setting only if the application provides its own mechanism for the user to exit.

End sessionendsession

Tarantella ends the application's emulator session.

Note If an emulator session contains several main application windows, for example a CDE session with several applications running, and this attribute is set to either Suspend Session or End Session, then closing any of the applications will result in the entire session being suspended or ended.

Examples

--windowclose suspendsession

Closing the application's main window suspends the emulator session, as long as the application object is resumable.
