Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to close an open client session across a network. I want to have a screen with administrative access that allows closing of active client sessions across the network (on different computers).

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks!

You can do it in the Gateway…

This I know, but I would like the functionality on the front end for the user to use and not have to go into the Gateway.

You could do something using Script Messaging. There’s a good video on Inductive University on how to do Script Messaging.

Yea, create a client message handler that runs the following code:

`
from java.lang import System
System.exit()
`Then you can send a message to that handler any time to close a client.

Best,
