sys.lock_clientws()

Purpose:

sys.lock_clientws() locks the client workstation.

Usage:

ret = sys.lock_clientws();

Arguments:

None

Returns:

0 - OK

-1 - Client version < 4.4.8

Where Used:

sys.lock_clientws() will normally be called when a client timeout has been caught and the application needs to protect the application data that may be visible on the client workstation.

Example:

If the demo application catches a client timeout, it runs the program lockws.1. This program gives the user 60 seconds to respond. If the user does not respond at all, then lockws.1 calls sys.lock_clientws() and then exits the lockws.1 program.

Description:

sys.lock_clientws() will lock the client workstation. Multiple calls to sys.lock_clientws() are OK. To unlock the workstation the user needs only enter the workstation passwd, which may be blank.

Bugs/Features/Comments:

sys.lock_clientws() requires the client to be running version 4.4.8 or higher.
