Hello everybody,

after reading the archives of the mailing list I'm still not completely 
sure if there actually exists a functionality that cleans up sessions of 
users that are inactive for X hours.

Now I decided to completely prevent users from suspending their 
sessions. I read the entry from Heinz-M. Graesing which he made on 
Sunday, the 9th of August 2010, but as far as i can see this does not 
prevent users from suspending their session when hitting the X on the 
upper right of the x2go window.
Wouldn't it also be a feasible workaround to overwrite 
/usr/bin/x2gosuspend-session with /usr/bin/x2goterminate-session?

I've tried this and the sessions seem terminated. At least I get a blank 
desktop if I login again after closing the window with the x-Button and 
the processes are killed (cannot be found using the ps command).

Is that solution possible, or am I missing something?

Referring to the case of resuming a session, I think it is clear that if 
there is no possibility to suspend sessions, it should be impossible to 
resume a session, too.

Furthermore, if there is the possibility of an inactivity detection and 
thereby triggered session termination, I would also appreciate any 
information about that.

Greetings,
Kevin
