How to recover host if client goes dark

[kabhijit]

Hello Devs,

Just started using NoMachine to see if it could work for me. At first glance its superb – very cool. However, there is one issue – if the client machine dies/disconnects, NoMachine will not allow a local user to login at all.

Steps to reproduce:
Install NoMachine and start server on the remote server (S). Install nomachine on the client (C) and connect – everything working fine. Now, lets assume Client machine dies. I simulated this by pulling the network cord. Now, if I go to the server physically, there is no (clean) way to be able to log in.

Expected Solution: There should be a way to disconnect/terminate the remote connection from a local terminal or non-gui interface OR there should be a timeout to close the connection if client has disappeared for (say) 60 seconds.
