hi,
can any one guide me that how can i configure Session descriptor
with application launching option in kiosk mode.
That should be documented in the kiosk man pages, particularly the
session.conf man page. Unfortunately I just recently noticed, that this
documentation is incomplete.
To support an application launching option, you need to add a
KIOSK_SESSION_APPLAUNCHER key to your session descriptor. The value of
that key is the path to a launcher executable, which is responsible for
configuring the session to launch an application in a specified way.
Usually this is implemented as a script. This launcher script is invoked
for every application list entry with 4 arguments, which are the
components of the applist entry (as documented in the kiosk man page):
arg1: exec|desc - type indicator
arg2: full path or short name of the application executable or
descriptor (depending on type)
arg3: auto|critical|user - start mode
arg4: command line arguments to be passed to the application
executable
For examples look at the 'applauncher' scripts that are available in the
jds3 and cde sessions on Solaris (install pathes are
/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/<sessin>/applauncher).
The predefined Solaris scripts standardize on using application
descriptors, so for 'exec' entries, they synthesize an application
descriptor in the session HOME. Once you have an application descriptor,
you can launch the associated application using the
/opt/SUNWkio/lib/kioskapplaunch helper. That helper supports the -c
option to launch a process as critical process.
You can also take the complementary approach and work with executable
pathes directly, extracting the KIOSK_APP_EXEC value from the
application descriptor for the application. To launch an executable as a
critical process, use the /opt/SUNWkio/lib/kioskcrit helper.
For entries with start mode 'critical' or 'auto', the launcher can start
the executable directly or arrange for entries to be started by a
session manager (if available). For example the JDS and CDE applauncher
scripts add these applications to a session or sessionetc file, so that
they are launched by the session manager later on.
For entries with start mode user (and optionally for auto) the launcher
needs to configure them as user-specific menu entries or other form of
launcher (e.g. desktop icon). How this is done depends on your session
and its configuration and user interfaces.
Disclaimer: Note that the mentioned helpers (and also the
/opt/SUNWkio/lib/utils.sh script library) used by the predefined Solaris
scripts are currently not documented interfaces of Kiosk Mode. While we
plan to promote them to public and supported interfaces sometime in the
future, they may undergo some changes by that time.
