Hi everyone.
I'm looking for a solution to kill an application when a device is charging.
I found an documentation about using the Agent API in Lockdown ( https://www.soti.net/mc/help/v2024.0/en/console/configurations/profiles/configurations/categories/restrictions/tutorial_JS_lockdown_screen.html?hl=using%2Candroid%2Cagent%2Cjavascript%2Cfrom%2Clockdown%2Cscreen) but i'm not an developer and i do not get it to work.
Someone has an idea?
Not sure if you are really looking at the right place.
Do you want this script in a lockdown template (the link you provided is about that) or in the (managed) scripts section of the console?
If it's the script part (what i assume you are looking for), take a look into the Soti Agent Javascript documentation:

Hi Rafael,
i want to insert it into the lockdown. The Script is working fine when i send it to the device.
I build a workaround with Task Scheduler which sends the script:
if (mobicontrol.battery.isCharging) {
mobicontrol.app.stop('APP_IDENTIFIER');
}
every 15minutes. Which results in exact what i am looking for. At the moment this is just for several devices. But imagine having such kind of Task every few minutes for hundrets of devices. This will result in a lot of load on the server. So i am looking for a solution to trigger a cmd which includes:
#!/usr/bin/env js
if (mobicontrol.battery.isCharging) {
mobicontrol.app.stop('APP_IDENTIFIER');
}
directly on the device by using the Agent API because i know that it's not possible to trigger a local file from a website directly for security reason.
Hi Daniel,
I just saw your message after sharing my answer, your above JS code works either using inside of the .cmd/.bat, so do you need any help related to this topic :)
Thanks
Hi Daniel,
Others may correct me, however, I dont believe your Task Scheduler option will place additional load on the server. The Task Scheduler payload will be delivered to the devices once and then that timer will act on the device rather than poling the server to re-deliver the script.
Hi Daniel,
To give you some insight you can use below JS and trigger JavaScript script when the device is charging.
Please remember to put extra space after the if and below lines, you can see at below Screenshot as well.
I hope it helps. Thank you
