Triggers

These are the triggers available to policies in the Casper Suite. Triggers control under what circumstances a policy will execute. A policy will never run if its trigger doesn't occur, but it might not run even when it does. Factors that influence whether a policy runs when it is triggered include: Execution Frequency, Date and Time Limitations, Network Limitations, and Scope.

None (or Self Service Only)
The policy is never triggered automatically; it can be run from Self Service if allowed in the Self Service tab of the policy editor.

Any
(Insert explanation here)

Startup
The policy is executed at startup time. (When, exactly?)

Login
The policy is executed when a user logs in. Any scripts that run as part of the policy receive the short name of the user as $3.

Logout
The policy is executed when a user logs out. Any scripts that run as part of the policy receive the short name of the user as $3.

The everyn trigger
The policy is executed every n minutes, when the check-in occurs.
