Enabling and disabling graphical user interface locally

You can enable or disable the Kaspersky Endpoint Security graphical user interface (GUI) locally from the command line.

Root privileges are required to enable or disable the GUI.

If the GUI is disabled, users without root privileges cannot start the GUI on their local computers.

To enable or disable the GUI:

1. Run the application configuration script:

   /opt/kaspersky/kesl/bin/kesl-setup.pl -G

   A request is displayed.

2. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to enable graphical user interface, press the Y key, and then specify a user to grant the administrator role to, if necessary.

     If you enable the GUI, users without root privileges will be able to run up to 5 virus scan tasks simultaneously.

     If a user is logged in, a GUI will be launched for this user if all necessary libraries are available. The application icon appears in the notification area of the taskbar, and shortcuts are created.

   • If you want to disable the GUI, press the N key.

     The application blocks users from starting the GUI locally. The application icon and shortcuts are removed.
