I have Chrome running in kiosk mode (it displays my HTML/CSS/JS application - so I have control over the whole stack).
From time to time, I need to refresh its static content, that is reload the HTML, JS and CSS files. This is equivalent to pressing Shift-F5.
The problem is that this is an installation without a keyboard/mouse so I currently reboot the machine (a Raspberry Pi) to "refresh" the display and would like to use a less intrusive method.
Is there a way to send Chrome a signal from the command line so that it refreshes the page?
Notes:
Ultimately I can use a
Refreshheader but would like to avoid as much as possible (I prefer in that case to reboot the machine)The RPi starts
xinitinrc.local, which in turns (after some other commands) starts Chrome (and hangs) so I cannot just restart the browser.
