Creation of new virtual desktop session with command line only

[nomachine_sg]

Hi,

I’d like to create a new virtual desktop from a crontab, meaning with only command line and no wizard GUI.

Trying to use the following command on Centos 7 and nxplayer 7:

/usr/NX/bin/nxplayer --session mysession.nxs --new-session

But this command is opening a wizard GUI and cannot be automatized.

Is there some options to set into mysession.nxs to run nxplayer in headless mode? Or in server.cfg / node.cfg ?

Thanks,

Jean-Paul

Hi @britgirl,

Working fine!

 

With the following config in player.cfg:

<option key="Show address retrieving tutorial" value="false" />

<option key="Show connection wizard tutorial" value="false" />

<option key="Show opening menu panel tutorial" value="false" />

<option key="Show menu panel tutorial" value="false" />

<option key="Show video toolbar tutorial" value="false" />

The session can start from a headless machine with this command:
xvfb-run /usr/NX/bin/nxplayer --session test.nxs

Thanks a lot for your help,

Jean-Paul
