The Scheduler object provides creating timed events.


Members Table

Remarks
    This object is available through the main object SiteKiosk. Use the Scheduler object to start events at a specified time.

    Note that the path of a file using SiteKiosk objects must be allowed in the
    SiteKiosk configuration (Security -> Access -> URL's With Script Permission)
    if it is not a browser skin file.
Examples
    The following example shows the scheduler functionality. 

    <html>
<head>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
window.external.InitScriptInterface();

function sstartaction()
{
   if (saction[0].checked) SiteKiosk.Quit();
   if (saction[1].checked) SiteKiosk.ShutdownWindows();
   if (saction[2].checked) SiteKiosk.RebootWindows();
   if (saction[3].checked) SiteKiosk.LogoffWindows();
}
function startscheduler()
{
   myevtid = SiteKiosk.Scheduler.AddDelayedEvent(stime.value*1000,
   sstartaction);
   id_sas.innerHTML = "Status: Scheduler started";
}

    The following example can be modified and added to the "TrayWindow.html" of the used browser skin to achieve that SiteKiosk reboots or shuts down at an exact point of time. 

    <script language="javascript">
// Time:
// use time in 24-hour format (HH:MM)
// and "0" for no action.
// Example: 
// sWeekDays[1] = "01:25"; // Time Mondays 1:25 a.m.
// Action: 
// true=reboot, false=shutdown
// Example:
// bWeekReboot[1] = false;  // Shutdown Mondays

var sWeekDays = new Array();
var bWeekReboot = new Array();

// Monday:
sWeekDays[1] = "0";
bWeekReboot[1] = true;

// Tuesday
sWeekDays[2] = "0";
bWeekReboot[2] = true;

// Wednesday
sWeekDays[3] = "0";
bWeekReboot[3] = true;

// Thursday
sWeekDays[4] = "0";
bWeekReboot[4] = true;

// Friday
sWeekDays[5] = "0";
bWeekReboot[5] = true;

// Saturday
sWeekDays[6] = "0";
bWeekReboot[6] = true;

// Sunday
sWeekDays[7] = "0";
bWeekReboot[7] = true;


// Cutomizable Scheduler to reboot/shutdown this terminal
function CreateShutdownScheduler()
{
   var CurrentDate = new Date();
   var Day = CurrentDate.getDay();
   var strDays = new String();
   if (sWeekDays[Day] != "0")
   {
      strDays = sWeekDays[Day];
      if (bWeekReboot[Day])
      {
         SiteKiosk.Scheduler.AddFixedTimeEvent(
         parseInt(strDays.substring(0, 2)),
         parseInt(strDays.substring(3, 5)), 0,
         RebootScheduler);
      }else
      {
         SiteKiosk.Scheduler.AddFixedTimeEvent(
         parseInt(strDays.substring(0, 2)),
         parseInt(strDays.substring(3, 5)), 0,
         ShutdownScheduler);
      }
   }
}

// Customizable function to reboot
function RebootScheduler(eventID)
{
   SiteKiosk.RebootWindows();
}

// Customizable function to shutdown
function ShutdownScheduler(eventID)
{
   SiteKiosk.ShutdownWindows();
}

// Create Scheduler to shutdown/reboot the terminal
CreateShutdownScheduler();
</script>

Applies to
    SiteKiosk v5.0 (and later versions).
