Post Session Custom Commands in IGEL OS

In the following article, you will learn how you can configure post-session custom commands in IGEL OS. For a specific session type, you can define an action that is performed when the last session of this type is ended. The defined post-session command can also be used for multiple session types.

For an example of using post-session commands, see Shutdown/Suspend Devices Automatically at the End of a Session.
