Abstract
A system and method that automatically terminates an application. A method includes monitoring activity data points for an application launched by a client device within a workspace environment. The activity data points may include user interactions with a physical interface component and background interactions occurring with the application. State data for each file associated with the application is monitored and, if a determination is made that the application is inactive based on the activity data points, the method determines if a file associated with the application includes unsaved content based on state data. If it is determined that no files for the application include unsaved content, the method forecasts whether the application will be inactive for a future period based on the activity data. The application is terminated if it is determined that no files for the application include unsaved content and the application is forecast to be inactive.
