Kiosk Startup





15.7
15.7 Network Status Monitoring 225
This script requires that pop-up blocking be disabled in the browser.
Insert the desired URI, width, and height into the window.open line, save the file
locally (e.g., at /usr/local/kiosk/index.html) and then invoke the browser with the
script:
$ firefox file:/usr/local/kiosk/index.html
This will start a second window on top of the first, with a 1024 ?— 768 geometry and
no menu bar. Since no window manager is running, the user cannot close, minimize,
or move the top window to return to the first window. To disable the status bar, navigation
bar, and other user interface features on a browser such as Mozilla or Firefox,
start the browser normally and deselect those features using the View menu,
then exit the browser. The browser configuration files will automatically be updated
with your preferences.
You may also be able to configure a kiosk mode for a browser using
the browser??™s chrome capability, theming, or an extension.
