Hello,
Following today's security patch for Mozilla Firefox, I was planning to offer users a way to choose when to update.
Firefox is used across the entire network, and I can't force a live update. The impact on all operations is too significant.
I thought about suggesting users go to http://127.0.0.1:8088/ , but there's no way to apply the updates there.
Our WAPT icon isn't displayed in the taskbar.
Could you add http://127.0.0.1:8088/ a "Check for Updates" and "Start Installations" button
Or perhaps a more user-friendly page would be a better solution?
There's no rush; providing a user-friendly interface seems like good practice.
Suggestion for improvement

Hi Joël,
you can add an icon that points to waptexit; that should do the trick.
In version 2.6, access to the interface http://127.0.0.1:8080 via a browser was removed (for security certification, we had to make changes that rendered the interface unusable). Therefore, you must access it through the system tray, waptexit, or waptselfservice.
Another option is to add a wapt_upgrade_task_period that will regularly launch a "wapt-get upgrade". This is a very practical option, but you must ensure that the impacted_process attributes are correctly set to avoid killing applications during the day.
Regards,
Denis
