Can COG detect when a page did not load and retry?

[gil0109]

I would like to startup a webpage using COG, if the page doesn't load or stops loading due to;

1. Networking issues
2. Time Server not updated correctly

Is there a flag, to retry or refresh? If not, I can test prior but it would be nice.

Sorry, at the moment Cog does not have that option. It can be interesting to add it, though. I can imagine situations where it is better to try reloading that permanently showing the load error page.

Something you can try is using the cogctl tool to remotely trigger a page reload, but there is no way of knowing whether the load succeeded. Probably we could expose the page load status over D-Bus as well.

Another option that you may want to consider is using online and offline events, though I suspect those may not completely solve your use case.

It would be great to expose the page load status. That way we can script a reload. Thanks for the information.

Also, Sorry I am a new at this. What does this cog option --webprocess-failure do? Is their a possibility to integrate with this?

Can the error page be changed to include a "try again" button at least?

Yes, it should be possible, I filed #429 to track that.
