Option to restart the Veyon Service on Clients from the Master

[Sanny]

@tobydox We intended to go to 4.2 when it comes out. Anyway, will try your suggestion. However, it will not be in the next couple of weeks as we have upgrades to our systems and re-allocation of resources going on. Thank you.

@tobydox Hello, Do you know if the need for a confirmation on the Restart on the Master Toolbar can be addressed? Thanks!

[tobydox]

@DrewLoker this is already possible - simply enable the "Show confirmation dialog for potentially unsafe actions" option in the master configuration page in Veyon Configurator - see https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/reference.html#behaviour for details.

Hi. Not sure if this helps but we experience the same issue from time to time and to assist our ICT Teacher, we use this vbs script. All you need to supply it with is the name of the workstation. Its not foolproof but does our job.

Copy the code below into notepad the save it as 'VeyonServiceRestart.vbs' and run it. It will ask you for the workstation name and if workstation is on, it will attempt to restart the service.

Regards

Declan

I was hoping to see if you were asking for a confirmation prompt. I would like to put the restart button back, but need to have a prompt intercepting an accidental click.

Can you try to upgrade both clients and master to 4.2 RC (4.1.92) to see if the problem still persists?

You can restart from the Master. However, I remove that button from the configuration app because one click and you have accidentally restarted a client. Maybe you turned it off and didn't realize it.
