hi, did you found a solution? because we have the same problem
-
Hi, the same, with XP clients. Ubantu 12.04, fog 0.32.
-
This is still a problem, and I’m aware of it, but as I need to look at the Client code and add re-writes and updates, this will kind of be on the back burner.
-
Is this broken across the board or are some people having success with it?
I turned it on yesterday with a wait time of 5 hours just to be sure they’re gone for the day before being logged out. We had 4 reboots that I am aware of, 3 with in a couple minutes of each other and one around an hour later. I wasn’t sure it was FOG at first because it wasn’t every machine.
Are the other reports of machines being rebooted regardless of inactivity rather than logging out or were my hosts rebooting because of Tuesday patches?I can’t see anything in the fog.log from before a user logs in. Seems like it is being overwritten as though it were a new file at logon rather than appending.
-
the default fog.log is very small, i always increase it’s size in the config.
as far as i know, using the fog client for auto log out is not recommended yet. the software hasn’t been updated in a long time, but a new version is being worked on now. -
Hi,
yes it’s time to get fully function of the client back.
Tom do you have a todo list? Is it possible to watch it?Regards X23
-
the new client is actually being written by jbob, and it’s progress can be watched on github

This would only be the steps to follow if there was a problem with the OS. The issue he’s referring to is to deal with a known issue with the Auto Log Out service in the FOG Client.
