desired state mgmt for Web browser

[Aleksey Tsalolikhin]

Hi,

I just realized I need CFEngine for my web browser.  :)

I want my tabs in certain order, e.g.:

First tab - Slack

Second tab - Gmail

Third tab - Calendar

Fourth tab - AWS console

I use Chrome for my Web browser, and I've got it configured to auto-open those four in that order, and then I pin them which keeps them there, but sometimes I accidentally close one and have to manually re-open and re-pin it.  Other times, Chrome opens a whole new set, so now I have two Slack windows, two Gmail windows, etc. and I have to manually close the newer set.

I caught myself wishing I could manage the state of my Web browser with CFEngine.

Yours fondly,

-at

Sounds like a good case for custom promise type if you can figure out how to actually probe and poke chrome into that state. Then run that policy from a systemd user timer or something.

Sounds nice :D
