Locking a computer or logging off a user
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you automatically lock a host computer or log off the
user who is logged on to the host computer after the queue file runs. To use these
features, the host and remote computers must have the remote management
components installed.
You can configure options for saving data and notifying the host user about the
action that you are about to perform. For the logoff command, you can prompt
users to close open programs and save their work. You can also configure
pcAnywhere to forcibly close open programs without saving data. This lets
pcAnywhere close programs that might require user interaction to end a task (for
example, saving a document). Some programs do not support forcible termination.
The lock computer option is available on Windows XP/2003 Server/2000/NT only.
If the host computer is running Windows Me/98, this command starts the Windows
screen saver if one is configured on the host computer. For added security, the
host user can password-protect the screen saver.
