There isn't. 
 
What I've done is write and publish a wrapper script that checks for the
existence of some control file. If the file doesn't exist (or does
exist, the paradigm is up to you) then the script launches the
application as normal. If the file does exist, then script exits without
launching the app. I also have another published script that builds or
deletes the control file, so disabling or enabling an app is simple and
immediate.
 
Of course, disabling an app does not do anything to anyone already
running the app, nor is this approach possible if you are publishing
desktops without a lot more work on your part (you must make sure they
can't bypass the control script and launch the app themselves).

        Not that I know of.  It shouldn't be too difficult to create a
script that does just that.

        On the same thought process, is there a command line that will
enable/disable logon to a published application?

        Joe, 

         

        Does putting that command before shut down override the IMA
value which re-disables logon?

        I thought about that but the customer is using softgrid and
there is a significant delay between when the shutdown/restart command
is sent and when softgrid actually restarts the server (The softgrid
client intercepts logoff/shutdown/restart commands).  Some of the
softgrid client values can be tweaked, but only little.

        I just put a "change logon /enable" at the end of my reboot
script, immediately before the tsshutdn command. That's all I could
think of.

                Does anyone know how to disable the stupid 'Disable
logons' that survives a reboot feature that Citrix implemented?  Adding
a chglogon /enable to the startup script doesn't always work as IMA
service may start after the startup script has executed.
