The Action - Terminate Application Prompt dialog box is displayed when you add a Terminate Application Prompt action. This dialog box lets you configure a prompt to notify users before the application terminates, including the number of seconds to notify the user, the number of times the prompt retries, and different messages for different locales. You can also specify the specific requirements that a device must meet for the action to be executed on the device. However, you are allowed to add the Terminate Application Prompt action only if it is not already added.
To access this dialog box, click the Bundles tab in ZENworks Control Center. Click the underlined link of a bundle in the Name column of the Bundles list, click the Actions > Terminate. Click Add > Terminate Application Prompt.
The following sections contains additional information:
The Action - Terminate Application Prompt dialog box lets you configure a prompt to notify users before the application terminates, including the number of seconds to notify the user, the number of times the prompt retries, and different messages for different locales.
Specify the number of seconds that the prompt is displayed before the action is performed. For example, suppose you configure a prompt to notify the user that an application is in the process of terminating. If you specify that the prompt display for 10 seconds, the prompt displays for 10 seconds, then the application terminates.
Specify the number of times the prompt displays before performing the next action.
Define the prompt that you want to display on the device. You can also specify different locales with different messages.
The ZENworks Agent automatically detects the locale of the operating system and displays the prompt defined in the same locale as the operating system locale. However, if the operating system locale does not match any of the specified locales, then ZENworks displays the prompt defined by the first locale in the list.
To create a message:
Click Add to display the Select Locale and Prompt dialog box.
Select a language from the Locale drop-down list. The message displays only on devices in the specified locale. You can create different messages, each with its own locale setting.
Type the text you want to display on the device.
NOTE:On a Macintosh and a Linux device, the new line character does not work. To display a message on a new line, you must use a <br> tag before the message.
You can include {0} in your text to provide a running counter that counts down the number of seconds to 0, after which the prompt is auto-accepted. For example, you could specify the following text:
The application will terminate in {0} seconds. Please save your work.
The message displays for the number of seconds specified in the Seconds to be Displayed field.
Click OK.
The Requirements page lets you define specific requirements that a device must meet for the action to be enforced on it. For information about the requirements, see Requirements.
