Client side idle-session timeout or disconnect

[epalmer]

Is there a way to set an automatic disconnect from the client side of the application? For example, if I walk away from my machine with a client session open for 3 hours without interacting with it, can I have it automatically end the session?

Thanks!

If you are connecting to the physical desktop of the remote machine, you can set the following key in the in the node configuration file (/usr/NX/etc/node.cfg) on the server side to auto-disconnect after a specific amount of time.

DisplayAgentExtraOptions “-timeout 600”

Hi Britgirl,

Thanks for the response.

Is there a setting in ~/.nx/config/player.cfg that can set an auto-disconnect after a given amount of idle time? I was really hoping to address this issue from the client side.

Alternatively, if there is a reference guide with all the player.cfg options listed in one place, I’d be happy to search through that. But I was unable to find that kind of documentation on the website. If you could point me to something like that, I’d be grateful!

Thanks again,

Erik

At the moment there is no option on the client side BUT we are going to add a “disconnection option” in the player GUI to handle the situation when a session may become inactive. Similarly for the server side, we will also add an option to disconnect the connect in the GUI so that users can avoid interacting with the cfg files. We don’t have an ETA, but it’s definitely something we are going to do.

For your question about player.cfg options, take a look at the following document: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00240.
