Nxerror.log becomes massive

[vertico]

Hello,

I have several headless Mac mini’s running NoMachine and on many of the nxerror.log becomes very large (50-75GB)

Too large for me to open it to see what’s inside.

I am not having any actual issues with NoMachine however I am interested to know if it is possible to simply disable nxerror.log so that NoMachine is no longer logging to it.

Hello,

Firstly please try this:

1)Shut down nxserver:
/etc/NX/nxserver --shutdown

2)Clean nxerror.log:
> /Library/Application\ Support/NoMachine/var/log/nxerror.log

3)Start up nxserver:
/etc/NX/nxserver --startup

If nxerror.log still continues to grow, please collect logs and send it to us to investigate and provide proper fix. This article shows how to collect logs: https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00163
As a workaround you could redirect all logs written in nxerror.log to null, to do that you need to:

1)Shut down nxserver:
/etc/NX/nxserver --shutdown

2)Remove nxerror.log:
rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/NoMachine/var/log/nxerror.log

3)Redirect nxerror.log to /dev/null:
cp -a /dev/null /Library/Application\ Support/NoMachine/var/log/nxerror.log

4)Start up nxserver:
/etc/NX/nxserver --startup
