Wapt Tray

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to quickly deploy software updates (Flash, Adobe, etc.) and I stumbled upon Wapt. Everything works as I hoped, BUT (there's always a but!) something is bothering me about the client side.
I would have liked the client to only be able to see pending applications/updates and not be able to cancel them. Basically, is it possible to customize the Wapt tray menu (when you right-click on the icon in the system tray)?
I managed to remove the console, which seems like an aberration on an average user's PC.
I find the icon in the system tray uninteresting, but I don't want all its options! Is it possible to disable all of that?
Sincerely.

Yes, by recompiling
Alternatively, you can disable the cancel task button by modifying the file
waptservice.py
Replace :
Code: Select all
@app.route('/cancel_running_task')
@app.route('/cancel_running_task.json')
@allow_local
@app.route('/cancel_all_tasks')
@app.route('/cancel_all_tasks.html')
@app.route('/cancel_all_tasks.json')
@allow_local
by
Code: Select all
@app.route('/cancel_running_task')
@app.route('/cancel_running_task.json')
@allow_local_auth
@app.route('/cancel_all_tasks')
@app.route('/cancel_all_tasks.html')
@app.route('/cancel_all_tasks.json')
@allow_local_auth
You can also directly create a shortcut to
http://127.0.0.1:8088/list
You can also create a shortcut to c:\wapt\waptexit.exe to allow the user to perform their own updates.

The console is password protected
AND using a private key...
Would you find it absurd if the wapt console were in web mode?
Everyone would also have access to the webpage... Only those with the password would have access. Like the console...
I find it quite practical to have it on all the workstations

We'll think about it

Thank you for your (quick) reply. Ideally, we'd have an easily customizable agent—ini file, config file, XML file, it doesn't matter.
By default, everything is left enabled, and if people like me want to limit the system tray icon to a mini-menu, it should be easy to do.
Regards.

Hello, I completely agree with lepipo007; the ability to customize the tray menu seems very relevant to me
