How OSD script runs

How the script runs

The new TIMEOUT attribute determines the following:

• Whether the App-V (SoftGrid) client waits for the script to finish
• The period that the App-V (SoftGrid) client will wait for the script to finish

For backward compatibility, the WAIT attribute is still supported in Microsoft App-V 4.x and in Microsoft SoftGrid 4.x. 

Set these attributes as follows:

TIMEOUT
• TIMEOUT=x
  The client will wait x seconds for the script to finish before the client returns an error.
• TIMEOUT=0
  The client will wait indefinitely for the script to finish.


WAIT

• Wait=False
  The client will continue without waiting for the script to finish.
• Wait=True
  The client will not start the next step until the script finishes.

Notes

• The client does not support a pre-shutdown event. You cannot determine the exact moment at which a user will perform a shutdown. For example, you cannot predict when the user will clickClose or when the user will press ALT+F4.
• You can use scripts in any language. However, the language must be installed locally on the client computer.
