Description

This attribute determines for how long a user will be able to resume an application.

Object Manager	Command line	Description
Never	`never`	The application can never be resumed. Recommended for applications that do not provide a mechanism for the user to exit. For example, a clock application.
Webtop session	`session`	The application keeps running and is resumable until the user logs out of Secure Global Desktop. If a user does not log out of Secure Global Desktop cleanly, for example, if they close their web browser or terminate the Secure Global Desktop Client without logging out, then applications that are webtop session resumable keep running for a time (see Resumable For). This is the default setting.
Always	`always`	The application keeps running for a time (see Resumable For) after the user logs out of Secure Global Desktop, and can be resumed when they next log in. Recommended for applications that need to exit in a controlled way. For example, an email application that may need to remove lock files before it exits.

Note An X application configured to Display Using a Local X Server is not resumable, whatever the value of the Resumable attribute.

Users can see if an application is resumable or not by pointing to its link on the webtop and looking at the popup window that displays.

The browser-based web webtop has controls for suspending and resuming individual application sessions. If you are using the Secure Global Desktop Client in Integrated mode, applications that are always resumable are automatically suspended when you log out. When you log in again, they are are automatically resumed.

Examples

--resumable never

The application is never resumable.
