Thank you for your feedback Stefan. I understand your concern about terminating sessions when people are running tasks through screen or tmux. I would add a check to avoid killing these type of sessions.
Thank you and have a good day.

Well, some people might do this intentionally, like people use screen or tmux to keep a task running even when they're not present or not even connected to the system. Terminating their sessions when they don't expect it might not be the best idea. You could set up a cron job that parses the output of x2golistsessions_root and calls x2goterminate-session for each sessionid (field 2) that is older than n days (using field 6:init time, or field 11:last time dataset has been updated, or field 13, session age in seconds), but that will terminate sessions that have been open that long, no matter if they're idle or actively used. Of course, if you filter for suspended sessions only (field 5, state S), then you could use it to terminate suspended sessions older than n days - but be sure to use field 11 for the check, then, or you will terminate a user that had a running session for n days, and just suspended it a moment ago ... -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
