The nxproxy are running on the client machine. As I wrote, you can terminate the session from there by sending them SIGQUIT. That was just a short test, I'm sure suspending can be initiated on the (application) server (=X client/LTSP server) side. This server/client role stuff becomes difficult if you have even more layers, like introducing NX... > - If the user has already suspended session suitable to reconnect, user > is automagically reconnected to the suspended session instead of > starting a new one. That seems to be only partially true - it does not always work cleanly: If you kill the terminal (power off or similar) and such terminate the NX client, sometimes the NX server seems to keep the session open without the possibility to resume it: Only "Terminate" is available. This might depend on a buggy version I have though; it seems to be neither the latest nor the most stable build ;-) > - If the user has already running session with another terminal and > tries to connect from another one, new session is started. That is why you should disable users from logging in more than once. As always, there is more than one way to do it. I implemented a small script called on login - if the user already is logged in, show him a message "You cannot login twice - log out first on the other terminal" and terminate the session before it really began at all. > - To suspend the session, just CTRL-ALT-F to exit fullscreen and click > the "x" icon in the left upper corner.

This is true for SunRays, but I think that regular X sessions do not support hibernate/resume anyway. This is a feature only applicable on Sun stations, as they use a framebuffer between display and applications that simply supports suspending of sessions. This of course is not true for X sessions like "X -query ip.of.sun.server".
