Hi everyone, I have a question on behalf of a customer. Can the Vision client automatically restart in case of a problem? Currently, we have a situation where many clients don't have keyboards at various locations. For these clients it's not possible to perform a restart. Is there a way we can prevent Vision restarts by programming something in Ignition or pushing a command to the clients?Something like a scheduled task? Thanks in advance, regards ---

Not really, in an ordinary desktop environment. For such situations, I recommend configuring: - Automatic login to a particular OS username, perhaps after a short delay, and - Configuring that username with a custom `.Xsession` script that makes the Vision Client, in full screen mode, behave as if it is the desktop itself. With this setup, anything that causes the Vision Client to exit will cause an OS logout, and the auto-login function will kick in to restart it.
