Our corsica endpoints are intended to work as "kiosk" style appliances. We need to understanding the following scenarios:

What happens when the endpoint loses power
What happens when the endpoint is told to reboot via Casper MDM commands
What happens when macOS OS updates are queued for install
What happens when Firefox updates and the endpoint is restarted

Power Loss
If power is lost to the machine, it will auto restart. If power is lost suddenly, the system may prompt that it was not shut down properly at last reboot. This prompt has a 50 second timer, but will log in automatically. Firefox launches normally during this process.

Tested on hardware and VMs.

MDM Reboot

Casper has no ability to send reboot commands via MDM, but a reboot policy can be sent to machines. This works as expected and is on a delay that is as long as our check-in period.

Tested on physical hardware.

Firefox Updates
Firefox will update as normal upon launch (autoupdate is on). Tested this and it works as advertised.

Tested on hardware and VMs.

Note: when updates are queued for install and there is a power loss event, they do not automatically install.
