Automatically connect to remote machine at startup

[swillis0_0]

Is it possible to call a script from my startup applications to automatically connect to a remote machine (physical), actually two of them? I’m running Linux Mint (Ubuntu) and the remotes are the same.  Physical desktop since I’m using the free version of NoMachine.

Take a look on tip given by Tor: https://www.nomachine.com/forums/topic/connection-session-at-startup#post-13952. If ~/.config/autostart diretory doesn’t exist, create it.

Thanks but I already saw that but it didn’t answer my question.  It says nothing about how to connect to a specific machine.

You need to create new nxs file with connection to the server. To do that open nxplayer and on connection list choose “New” and complete connection configurations (Fig. 2-4 on: https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-nomachine). Save it as you want (default folder with nxs files is ~/Documents/NoMachine).

Now edit ~/.config/autostart/nxplayer.desktop and add full path inside the line:

Exec=/usr/NX/bin/nxplayer --session "path to the NXS file" --exit

Thanks!  That was very helpful.
