    Hello to everyone

    Few wweks ago i tried to install a RedHat 7 Workstation as Kiosk mode following the guide:

    https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4243461

    But it didn't worked at all, i just copied the configuration file but i was unable to login.

    Actually my goal is to set up a workstation where only one application can run so i try also this guide:

    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/desktop_migration_and_administration_guide/index#single-application-ode

    That i think RHEL has modified lately and it works, but instead to run gedit i need to run google-earth

    Can you tell me what i have to modify?

    i've tried to modify the file /usr/bin/redhat-kiosk

    Changing

        gedit ~/.local/bin/redhat-kiosk
    

    With

    /user/bin/google-earth-pro
    

    like below:

    #!/bin/sh
    
    if [ ! -e ~/.local/bin/redhat-kiosk ]; then
        mkdir -p ~/.local/bin ~/.config
        cat > ~/.local/bin/redhat-kiosk 
    #!/bin/sh
    
    while true; do
        /user/bin/google-earth-pro
    done
    
        chmod +x ~/.local/bin/redhat-kiosk
        touch ~/.config/gnome-initial-setup-done
    fi
    
    exec ~/.local/bin/redhat-kiosk "$@"
    #
    
    

    but it didn't worked, what i have to change to make it work?

    Thanks in Advance

    A.
