Hi, check out the following documents to learn more about ‘NX’ services.

Terminal Server installation guide – https://www.nomachine.com/DT04O00139#7 (any of the product installation and configuration guides has this paragraph)

Quick guide to the server – https://www.nomachine.com/DT10O00155#2.1.

Hi soldier89757,

here’s the summarised explanation.

nxd is NoMachine service for NX protocol, it is like sshd, it is listening (by default on 4000 port) and accepting user connections;

nxserver: nxserver –daemon process is responsible to start and monitor all NoMachine processes (nxd, nxnode, nxhtd) and to detect the physical session. Every user connection is handled by separete nxserver process;

nxhtd is the service for NoMachine web access;

nxnode: this node is responsible for the actual session, physical or virtual.
