Object Manager	Resumable	Pick a setting from the list.
Command line	`--resumable never \| session \| always`	Specify one of the valid resumability settings.

This attribute determines for how long a user will be able to resume an application.

Object Manager	Command line	Description
Never	`never`	The application can never be resumed and clicking a link on a webtop always starts a new application instance. The application is terminated as soon as it disappears from the webtop. For example, if you click a link that launches another application on the webtop. Recommended for applications that do not provide a mechanism for the user to exit. For example, a clock application.
Webtop session	`session`	The application keeps running and is resumable until the user logs out of Secure Global Desktop. If a user doesn't log out of Secure Global Desktop cleanly -- for instance, if they close their web browser or it crashes -- then applications that are webtop session resumable keep running for a time (see Resumable For). This is the default setting.
Always	`always`	The application keeps running for a time (see Resumable For) after the user logs out of Secure Global Desktop, and can be resumed when they next log in. Recommended for applications that need to exit in a controlled way. For example, an email application that may need to remove lock files before it exits.

Note An X application configured to Display Using a Local X Server is not resumable, whatever the value of the Resumable attribute.

Users can see whether an application is resumable or not by pointing to its link on their webtop. The status bar shows an appropriate message.
